This award provides partial support for young scientists from US institutes to attend the 2011 Gordon Research Conference on Nuclear Chemistry and the associated Gordon Research Seminar. This conference, subtitled "Intersections between Structure and Reactions: Pushing the Frontiers of Nuclear Science", focuses on the interplay between nuclear structure and reaction dynamics. Twelve topics have been selected at the frontier of the two fields and at the forefront of the present research. They include: nuclear structure close to the driplines and its coupling to the reactions, nuclear molecules and nuclear clusters, nuclear equation of state and effective interaction, nuclear astrophysics, dissipation and fragmentation, level densities and thermal properties, quantal and thermal phase transitions, fusion and fission, synthesis and spectroscopy of super-heavy elements, and research and development for the new facilities. The conference topics address key questions stated in the NSAC Long Range Plan for Nuclear Physics, particularly concerning the science associated with the next-generation rare-isotope accelerator facilities. The main goal of this conference is to provide the international community of nuclear scientists with a unique forum in which the latest developments and ideas at the frontier of nuclear research can be presented, thoroughly discussed and criticized. To these ends, much time is reserved for discussion. The chosen conference setting is particularly conducive to promoting interactions between junior and senior scientists, to provoking new concepts for future research, and to seeding new research collaborations. The high reputation of GRC in general and of the Nuclear Chemistry GRC in particular has always guaranteed a select audience including the best worldwide experts of the two subfields. For the first time in 30 years, the 2011 Nuclear Chemistry GRC brings together the two communities, offering a variety of topics at the frontier of the two fields and at the forefront of the present research. Scientific exchanges and collaborations between the two subfields are particularly crucial at a time when ties between nuclear science and astrophysics are growing and next-generation rare isotope accelerators are coming online. The participation of young scientists is essential in addressing the future manpower needs of this rapidly developing field and in educating a technical workforce for the nation competent in nuclear techniques. The addition of the Gordon Research Seminar to the Conference is designed to stimulate the growth of connections among young scientists and also between young scientists and experts in the field. Participation of under-represented minority groups, women, and young scientists in the conference will be encouraged. The discussion leaders, who play an essential part in selecting speakers, are a diverse group of internationally-known experts in the field, including women and minority scientists. Both the chair and the vice chair are women.

该奖项为来自美国研究机构的年轻科学家参加2011年戈登核化学研究会议和相关的戈登研究研讨会提供部分支持。本次会议的副标题为“结构与反应的交叉点：推动核科学的前沿”，重点讨论核结构与反应动力学之间的相互作用。在这两个领域的前沿和当前研究的前沿选择了12个主题。这些研究包括：接近线的核结构及其与反应的耦合、核分子与核团簇、核状态方程与有效相互作用、核天体物理、耗散与破碎、能级密度与热性质、量子与热相变、聚变与裂变、超重元素的合成与光谱学，以及新设施的研究与开发。会议主题讨论了NSAC核物理长期计划中提出的关键问题，特别是与下一代稀有同位素加速器设施相关的科学问题。这次会议的主要目标是为国际核科学家提供一个独特的论坛，在这个论坛上，核研究前沿的最新发展和思想可以被展示，彻底讨论和批评。为了达到这些目的，我们预留了大量的时间来讨论。选择的会议环境特别有利于促进初级和高级科学家之间的互动，激发未来研究的新概念，并播种新的研究合作。GRC在一般情况下，特别是核化学GRC的高声誉一直保证了一个选择的观众，包括两个子领域的世界上最好的专家。30年来，2011年核化学GRC首次将两个社区聚集在一起，在两个领域的前沿和当前研究的前沿提供各种主题。在核科学和天体物理学之间的联系日益密切，下一代稀有同位素加速器即将上线的时候，这两个子领域之间的科学交流和合作尤为重要。青年科学家的参与对于解决这一迅速发展的领域未来的人力需求和为国家培养具有核技术能力的技术劳动力是必不可少的。在会议中增加戈登研究研讨会的目的是促进青年科学家之间以及青年科学家与该领域专家之间的联系。将鼓励代表性不足的少数群体、妇女和青年科学家参加会议。讨论的领导者在选择演讲者方面起着至关重要的作用，他们是该领域的国际知名专家，包括妇女和少数民族科学家。主席和副主席都是女性。
