项目摘要

This award provides funding for the Seventh Annual Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics and the collection and analysis of data on the impact of these meetings on undergraduate women in physics. Six regional conferences will take place January 13-15, 2012, simultaneously at Stanford University, the University of Washington, Texas A&M University, Yale University, the University of Tennessee, and Case Western Reserve University. Data analysis will be centered at Indiana University. The conferences have two overarching goals: 1) To give undergraduate women the resources, motivation, and confidence to apply to graduate school and to successfully complete a Ph.D. in physics or a related discipline; and 2) To increase awareness by undergraduate women in physics of the wide range of career opportunities available to them. Regional conferences are held simultaneously to maximize student attendance by minimizing travel, to increase the excitement of the participants in a joint national venture, and to allow the interactive simulcast of a keynote address. The conference goals are achieved by providing a series of inspiring talks by female physicists, panel discussions on graduate school and physics careers, student presentation sessions, and ample opportunity for networking and informal mentoring. The success of these goals will be measured by surveys given to students before and after the conferences, as well as by longitudinal studies following the student's post-graduation paths and comparing them with female student cohorts who did not attend the conferences.

该奖项为物理学本科妇女的第七届年度会议提供了资金，并收集和分析了这些会议对物理学本科妇女的影响的数据。六次区域会议将于2012年1月13日至15日举行，同时在斯坦福大学，华盛顿大学，德克萨斯州A＆M大学，耶鲁大学，田纳西大学和凯斯西部储备大学。数据分析将集中在印第安纳大学。会议有两个总体目标：1）使本科妇女申请研究生院并成功完成博士学位的资源，动力和信心。在物理或相关学科中； 2）在物理学方面提高本科妇女的意识，以了解她们可用的各种职业机会。同时举行区域会议，以最大程度地减少旅行，增加参与者在联合国家企业中的兴奋，并允许对主题演讲地址的互动模拟广播，以最大程度地提高学生出勤。会议目标是通过提供女性物理学家的一系列鼓舞人心的演讲，有关研究生院和物理职业的小组讨论，学生演讲会议以及足够的网络和非正式指导机会的讨论来实现的。这些目标的成功将通过对会议前后的学生以及在学生的毕业后道路后进行纵向研究来衡量，并将其与未参加会议的女学生同伙进行比较。
