This award supports the United States delegation to the Fourth International Conference of Women in Physics in Stellenbosch, South Africa in April 2011. The purpose of the Stellenbosch conference (ICWIP 2011) is three-fold: (i) to provide an opportunity to view and analyze the current status of and progress in promoting women in physics in each country and internationally; (ii) to provide an arena for women in physics to share their scientific accomplishments and create international scientific collaborations; and (iii) to build capacity in each participating country to design and implement changes that improve the participation and advancement of women in physics. In collaboration with conference organizer Dr. Igle Gledhill at the Center for Science and Industry Research in Pretoria, South Africa, the U.S. delegation will provide support for the conference as well as continue the advancement of women and girls in the U.S. physics enterprise. The series of international conferences on women in physics is proving to be an effective mechanism for sharing best practices internationally, empowering action in numerous countries and regions including the US, nucleating networking in research, strengthening accountability through the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics(IUPAP), and increasing the numbers and advancement of women in the field. The U.S. delegates will be able learn about and take advantage of successful initiatives piloted in ~70 other countries. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics, the Division of Astronomical Sciences, and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and by the Office of International Science and Engineering.

该奖项于2011年4月支持美国在南非斯泰伦博斯举行的第四届国际妇女物理妇女会议。Stellenbosch会议（ICWIP 2011）的目的是三倍：（i）提供一个机会，以提供和分析在每个国家和国际上促进妇女中促进妇女的现状和进步的机会； （ii）为妇女提供一个分享其科学成就并建立国际科学合作的竞技场； （iii）在每个参与国家 /地区建立能力，以设计和实施变化，以改善妇女参与物理学的参与和进步。美国代表团与南非比勒陀利亚科学与工业研究中心的会议组织者Igle Gledhill博士合作，将为会议提供支持，并继续在美国物理企业的妇女和女孩的发展。 事实证明，关于物理女性的一系列国际会议是在国际上共享最佳实践的有效机制，在包括美国在内的众多国家和地区赋予了行动，在研究中核定网络，通过国际纯种和应用物理（IUPAP）加强问责制，并增加该领域妇女的数量和进步。 美国代表将能够学习并利用在其他70个国家 /地区进行的成功倡议。 该奖项由物理学部，天文学科学系和数学和物理科学局以及国际科学与工程办公室内的多学科活动办公室共同资助。
