Nontechnical description: The in-person conference, and an online working group, will explore the question of reproducibility in condensed matter physics experiments. Condensed matter physics is a branch of physics that studies phenomena in collective behavior of atoms and other particles, for example in solids. This area is of recognized fundamental scientific and broad importance, that furthers the understanding of new states of matter, precipitates the discovery of new materials, invention of electronic devices and sensors. The program is composed of a diverse set of speakers, with focus on inclusion and equity. A particular emphasis is made on reaching out to potential participants from historically black colleges and universities, as well as minority serving institutions. Societies of Physics Students are engaged in recruitment for the workshop, and research groups are encouraged to send undergraduate, graduate students and postdocs to the conference.Technical description: The condensed matter physics community does not currently follow established protocols for verifying the reproducibility of published work. The conference offers this highly productive and impactful community an opportunity to discuss how reproducibility can be defined, standardized, carried out, assessed, and promoted. The focus is on studying the examples of reproduction attempts, on how to identify irreproducible research, how to promote and support reproduction efforts, where to publish such works and how to give credit to researchers that carry them out. The effort has an international reach reflecting the collaborative nature of many of the efforts in the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术描述：现场会议和在线工作组将探讨凝聚态物理实验的可重复性问题。凝聚态物理学是物理学的一个分支，研究原子和其他粒子（例如固体中）的集体行为现象。该领域具有公认的基础科学和广泛的重要性，它促进了对物质新状态的理解，促进了新材料的发现、电子设备和传感器的发明。该计划由多元化的演讲者组成，重点关注包容性和公平性。特别强调接触来自历史悠久的黑人学院和大学以及少数族裔服务机构的潜在参与者。 物理学会学生正在招募参加研讨会的人员，鼓励研究小组派遣本科生、研究生和博士后参加会议。技术描述：凝聚态物理界目前没有遵循既定的协议来验证已发表工作的可重复性。这次会议为这个高效且有影响力的社区提供了一个讨论如何定义、标准化、执行、评估和促进可重复性的机会。重点是研究复制尝试的例子，如何识别不可复制的研究，如何促进和支持复制工作，在哪里出版此类作品以及如何给予开展这些工作的研究人员以荣誉。这项工作具有国际影响力，反映了该领域许多工作的协作性质。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
