This award to the American Physical Society supports the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP), held annually since 2006. 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 project looks to evaluate self-efficacy beliefs, physics identity and outcome expectations of the participants. Through this research and the project evaluation, there is potential to gain new knowledge about the issues facing undergraduate women in physics, as well as how effective activities like these are. The project will advance our understanding of factors that impact the ability of female students to pursue undergraduate degrees in physics and have a positive impact on a population that remains underrepresented in physics.

授予美国物理学会的奖项支持自2006年以来每年每年举行的物理学妇女（CUWIP）的会议。这些会议具有两个总体目标：1）使本科妇女提供资源，动力和信心，以申请研究生院并成功完成博士学位。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，增加参与者在共同的国家合资企业中的兴奋，并允许对主题演讲地址的互动模拟广播来最大程度地提高学生的出勤。 通过这项研究和项目评估，有可能获得有关物理学本科妇女面临的问题的新知识，以及此类活动的有效性。该项目将促进我们对影响女学生攻读本科学位的能力的因素的理解，并对在物理学中的人群不足的人群产生积极影响。
