NSF funds will be used to support the registration and travel costs for junior and early career scientists and engineers at the 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Granular and Granular-Fluid Flows. We will also use these funds to support participation by members of underrepresented groups. Such support will fill a crucial, national need to continue to train the future work force in the science of particle technology.Granular flows are prevalent in a range of natural and industrial systems, and research in the field is conducted within multiple scientific and engineering, each of which has its own goals and techniques. This year's conference will have sessions on Geophysics, Wet Granular Materials, Charged Granular Materials, Granular Gases, Continuum Models of Granular Flow, Vibration & Acoustics, Sheared Granular Materials, and Friction & Drag. Speakers were selected to highlight connections to geophysics and geotechnical granular materials by inviting speakers with interests spanning from oil recovery to environmental dynamics to civil engineering to earthquakes. In selecting invited speakers, we have taken care to include members of under-represented groups.The GRC provides a unique forum for the exchange of fresh scientific ideas between disciplines, as well as between junior and senior researchers. The guiding principles of the conference include the presentation of new, unpublished work followed by free, unhampered discussion among participants from disciplines that normally do not intersect. The structure GRC accomplishes this by providing formal discussion periods after every talk (guided by a discussion leader), time for small-group discussions, daily poster sessions, and shared meals with on-site housing. Each discussion leader will prepare a short presentation to provide context and provoke good discussions. This format provides an environment in which new collaborations can be forged to help tackle longstanding problems.

NSF的资金将用于支持初级和早期职业科学家和工程师参加2012年戈登颗粒和颗粒流体研究会议的注册和旅行费用。我们还将利用这些资金支持代表性不足的群体的成员参与。这种支持将满足一个关键的，国家需要继续培养未来的工作人员在粒子技术的科学。颗粒流是普遍存在的一系列自然和工业系统，并在该领域的研究是在多个科学和工程，其中每个都有自己的目标和技术进行。今年的会议将有地球物理学，湿颗粒材料，带电颗粒材料，颗粒气体，颗粒流的连续模型，振动声学，剪切颗粒材料和摩擦阻力会议。选择演讲者是为了突出与地球物理学和岩土颗粒材料的联系，邀请的演讲者的兴趣从石油开采到环境动力学，从土木工程到地震。在选择受邀演讲者时，我们已注意包括代表性不足的群体的成员。GRC为学科之间以及初级和高级研究人员之间的新鲜科学思想交流提供了一个独特的论坛。会议的指导原则包括介绍新的、未发表的工作，然后在来自通常不交叉学科的与会者之间进行自由、不受阻碍的讨论。GRC结构通过在每次演讲后提供正式的讨论时间（由讨论领导者指导），小组讨论时间，每日海报会议以及现场住宿的共享膳食来实现这一点。每位讨论负责人将准备一个简短的演讲，以提供背景并引发良好的讨论。这种形式提供了一个环境，在其中可以建立新的合作，以帮助解决长期存在的问题。
