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）将着重于响应迅速和多功能的聚合物，以实现新兴技术，为学术界，工业和政府的领先科学家和工程师提供一个令人兴奋的论坛，以讨论新兴的多学科技术，这些技术在聚合物科学和工程之间桥接传统边界。 GRC是一次跨学科会议（典型的出勤率范围为125-170），用于聚合物科学和工程社区，夏季每两年提供一次。 2009年的GRC被设想为一个综合教育论坛，以实现聚合物科学和工程学的最新进展，并且会议字幕有意将各种领域的专家汇集在一起​​，以解决广泛范围学科的高级技术。 目前需要这样一个教育论坛，以促进将基于突破性聚合物的材料解决方案从分子到设备级别催化突破性聚合物的材料解决方案所必需的相互理解。 2009年GRC的目标包括（1）传播聚合物科学和工程学的最新进展，（2）跨多个学科的教育，（（3）在多元化学科的跨多个学科的协作中培养合作，以及（4）专业网络的形成，2009年GRS将由“迷你 - 杂种”阶段组成。聚合物化学，可再生技术，流变学和加工，建模以及电子，光学，刺激性响应性以及生物医学材料和设备。每个小型课程将包括讨论领导者和2-3个学科中的受邀研究讲座。 被邀请的演讲者被广泛认为是其领域的领导者，并将以广泛的科学吸引力进行专注的讲座。 特别关注的是一项多元化计划的制定，包括代表性不足的群体，领导全国大学的大学，国际参与以及跨学科展示创新。BROADERIMPACT：研究生研究研讨会（GRC）将首次在GRC之前首次尝试对研究生学生社区产生重大影响。 前为期两天的会议将仅包括研究生口头演讲，将邀请ANAD Studens继续前进。 预计大多数研究生将参加随后的GRC。 该论坛将为我们国家的一些顶级研究生研究人员提供网络机会，包括为后续职业培养研究合作和网络。 更广泛的影响还将涉及对工业和国家实验室的宣传。国际参与者将为国际水平和国际研究团体的桥梁种植提供机会。 在种族和性别方面，特别关注的是形成多样化的出勤率。 成功的关键指标将是形成多样化的计划以及对科学家和工程师各种群体的影响。
