HISTORY OF PHYSICS ENTREPRENEURSHIP

PRESERVING 21ST-CENTURY SCIENCE: A NATIONAL FELLOWSHIP FOR EARLY & MID-CAREER CULTURAL HERITAGE PROFESSIONALS [PRESERVING 21ST CENTURY SCIENCE: A NATIONAL FELLOWSHIP FOR EARLY & MID-CAREER CULTURAL HERITAGE PROFESSIONALS, A THREE-YEAR TRAINING AND EDUCATION INITIATIVE THAT WILL STRENGTHEN NATIONAL CAPACITY TO DOCUMENT, PRESERVE, AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO RECORDS AND NARRATIVES OF INNOVATION IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW THAT THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE IS FUNDAMENTALLY A BORN DIGITAL ENDEAVOR, THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED TO MODERNIZE AND BUILD OUT A COHORT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE PROFESSIONALS TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO BUILD NATIONAL CAPACITY AND REFINE AND EVOLVE PRACTICES FOR COLLECTING, PRESERVING, PROCESSING, AND ENABLING USE AND ACCESS OF RECORDS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE. THESE MATERIALS ARE OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE FOR HISTORIANS AND PHILOSOPHERS OF SCIENCE TO BE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH AND UNDERSTAND CHANGES IN THE HISTORY OF THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE.]

MAKING ACCESSIBLE ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEWS IN THE HISTORY OF PHYSICS, ASTRONOMY, AND ALLIED FIELDS

PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS GRANT IS TO FUND 5 SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE PHYSICS STUDENTS FOR 10-WEEK POSITIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATE PHYSICS STUDENTS IN SCIENCE RESEARCH AT NIST.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: STUDENTS WILL WORK ON NIST CAMPUS FULL-TIME FOR 10-WEEKS. THE INTERNS WILL BE PARTNERED WITH NIST STAFF AS MENTORS AND CONDUCT LABORATORY BASED RESEARCH, ADVANCING NIST PROJECTS, GAINING RESEARCH EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS, AND DEVELOPING THE WRITTEN AND VERBAL SKILLS TO PRESENT AND COMMUNICATE COMPLEX TECHNICAL INFORMATION.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE INTERNS WILL GAIN RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND DEVELOP THE WRITTEN AND VERBAL SKILLS TO PRESENT AND COMMUNICATE COMPLEX TECHNICAL INFORMATION, CRITICAL TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE THE GENERAL POPULATION THROUGH NURTURING THE SCIENTIFIC PIPELINE WITH MENTORING AND TRAINING EMERGING HIGH-QUALITY TECHNICAL TALENT.

THE AMERICAN POSTWAR PHYSICS ELITE: AN INTERNET RESOURCE PILOT PROJECT AND RESEARCH INITIATIVE

TRAVEL: TRAVEL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS FROM HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (HBCUS) AND MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS (MSIS) TO THE 2022 PHYSICS CONGRESS -THE 2022 PHYSICS CONGRESS (PHYSCON), ORGANIZED BY SIGMA PI SIGMA (THE PHYSICS HONOR SOCIETY) AND SUPPORTED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS (AIP), IS THE LARGEST SINGLE GATHERING OF PHYSICS UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE WORLD. THIS AWARD TO AIP SUPPORTS THE ATTENDANCE TO THIS MEETING BY MEMBERS OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN PHYSICS. THIS YEAR?S CONFERENCE, THEMED 100 YEARS OF MOMENTUM, WILL INCLUDE KEYNOTE LECTURES BY RENOWNED SCIENTISTS; INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS ON KEY TOPICS OF IMPORTANCE TO UNDERGRADUATES IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES; AND TOURS OF MAJOR SCIENCE FACILITIES TO PROVIDE TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES FOR THE STUDENTS. AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS ARE BOTH EXTREMELY UNDERREPRESENTED IN PHYSICS. ACCORDING TO 2020 U.S. CENSUS DATA, 16% OF THE 20?24-YEAR-OLDS IN THE U.S. ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN AND 22.3% ARE HISPANIC. BY COMPARISON, DATA FROM THE AIP STATISTICAL RESEARCH CENTER SHOWS THAT JUST OVER 3% OF PHYSICS BACHELOR?S DEGREES IN 2019 WERE AWARDED TO AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND 11% TO HISPANICS IN 2019. THUS, BOTH ETHNIC GROUPS SEE LESS THAN THE EXPECTED REPRESENTATION AMONG PHYSICS UNDERGRADUATES THAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED BASED ON THE POPULATION. THIS AWARD AIMS TO ADDRESS THE PARTICIPATION AND SUCCESS OF UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS IN PHYSICS BY MAKING THEM AWARE OF RESOURCES AND BUILDING CONNECTIONS TO THE PHYSICS COMMUNITY. THIS PROGRAM WOULD HAVE SPS AND VOLUNTEER LEADERS WORK WITH DEPARTMENTS INDIVIDUALLY TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM. 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.
