Technical Merit: The Polymers Gordon Research Conference (GRC), which will focus on responsive and multifunctional polymers enabling emerging technologies, will provide an exciting forum for leading scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and government to discuss emerging multidisciplinary technologies that bridge traditional boundaries between polymer science and engineering. The GRC is a premiere interdisciplinary conference (typical attendance ranges from 125-170) for the polymer science and engineering community and is offered every two years in the summer. The 2009 GRC is envisioned as an integrated educational forum for the most recent advances in polymer science and engineering, and the meeting subtitle is intentionally broad to bring together experts in diverse fields to address advanced technologies over a wide range disciplines. Such an educational forum is needed at this time to facilitate the collaborations and mutual understanding necessary to catalyze breakthrough polymer-based material solutions from the molecular to the device level. The objectives of the 2009 GRC include (1) dissemination of the most recent advances in polymer science and engineering, (2) education across multiple disciplines, (3) cultivation of collaborations across diverse disciplines, and (4) formation of professional networks.The 2009 GRS will consist of "mini-symposia" sessions on polymer innovation in biomacromolecules, nanotechnology, catalysis, sustainable polymer chemistry, renewable technologies, rheology and processing, modeling, and electronic, optical, stimuli-responsive, and biomedical materials and devices.Each mini-session will include a discussion leader and 2-3 invited research lectures in the discipline. The invited speakers are widely recognized as leaders in their fields and will deliver focused lectures with broad scientific appeal. Special attention was devoted to the development of a diverse program including under-represented groups, leading universities from across the nation, international participation, and demonstrated innovation across disciplines.Broader Impact: A Graduate Research Seminar (GRC) will precede the GRC for the first time in an attempt to more significantly impact the graduate student community. The preceding two-day conference will include only graduate student oral presentations, anad studens will be invited to remain for the subsequent GRC. A majority of the graduate students are expected to participate in the subsequent GRC. This forum will provide networking opportunities for some of our nation's top graduate student researchers, including the cultivation of research collaborations and networks for subsequent careers. Broader impact will also involve outreach to industry and national laboratories. international participants will provide opportunities for impact on the international level and the cultivation of bridges to international reseach groups. Special attention was devoted to the formation of a diverse attendance in terms of race and gender. A key metric for success will be the formation of a diverse program and the impact on diverse groups of scientists and engineers.

技术优点：聚合物戈登研究会议 (GRC) 将重点关注支持新兴技术的响应式多功能聚合物，将为来自学术界、工业界和政府的领先科学家和工程师提供一个激动人心的论坛，讨论弥合聚合物科学与工程之间传统界限的新兴多学科技术。 GRC 是聚合物科学与工程界首屈一指的跨学科会议（一般出席人数为 125-170 人），每两年在夏季举办一次。 2009 年 GRC 被设想为聚合物科学与工程最新进展的综合教育论坛，会议副标题有意广泛，旨在将不同领域的专家聚集在一起，讨论广泛学科的先进技术。 此时需要这样一个教育论坛，以促进必要的合作和相互理解，以促进从分子到设备水平的突破性聚合物材料解决方案。 2009 GRC 的目标包括 (1) 传播高分子科学与工程的最新进展，(2) 跨学科教育，(3) 培养跨学科合作，以及 (4) 形成专业网络。2009 GRS 将包括关于生物大分子、纳米技术、催化、可持续发展等方面的聚合物创新的“小型研讨会”会议。 高分子化学、可再生技术、流变学和加工、建模以及电子、光学、刺激响应和生物医学材料和设备。每个小型会议将包括一名讨论主持人和 2-3 个该学科的特邀研究讲座。 受邀演讲者被广泛认为是各自领域的领导者，他们将发表具有广泛科学吸引力的重点讲座。 特别关注多元化项目的发展，包括代表性不足的群体、全国领先的大学、国际参与以及跨学科的创新。更广泛的影响：研究生研究研讨会（GRC）将首次在 GRC 之前举行，试图对研究生社区产生更重大的影响。 之前为期两天的会议将仅包括研究生口头报告，其他学生将被邀请留下来参加随后的 GRC。 大多数研究生预计将参加随后的GRC。 该论坛将为我国一些顶尖研究生研究人员提供交流机会，包括培养研究合作和后续职业网络。 更广泛的影响还将涉及到行业和国家实验室的推广。国际参与者将提供在国际层面产生影响并与国际研究团体建立桥梁的机会。 特别注意形成种族和性别方面的多元化出席情况。 成功的一个关键指标是多样化计划的形成以及对不同科学家和工程师群体的影响。
