1322232WesterhoffThis award is to fund the 2013 Gordon Research Conference on Environmental Nanotechnology. The current conference will attempt to move the environmental nanotechnology community towards the future in which sustainable design of nanomaterials for agriculture, human health/medicine and water can be informed by/from recent breakthroughs in understanding the fate and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials within organisms and the environment.Intellectual MeritThe 2013 Gordon Research Conference on Environmental Nanotechnology will bring together prominent investigators who are at the forefront of their research fields and will provide unique opportunities for early career investigators, postdoctoral and graduate students to present their work in poster formats. The conference will draw attention to the need to proactively manage the emergence of nanotechnology into society so as to avert such problems that arose with earlier research such as those involving DDT, leaded gasoline, PCBs, CRCs and numerous other substances and to discuss opportunities for using nanotechnology to benefit society while protecting the environment in the areas of air, water, soil treatment plus energy and agriculture production. Sessions include the following: Evolution of nanoscale structures in the environment; Predicting transport and transformation towards sustainable design; Natural and Engineered Nanomaterials: from manufacturing to fate in the environment; Lifecycle implications of nanomaterials; Food technology impacts on humans and the environment ; Nanotechnology uses and solutions for food, agriculture, water and energy; Advancing agricultural and farming breakthroughs with nanotechnology ; Tiny solutions to global water challenges; Implications of nanomaterials on human health and ecosystem; Ecological and Biological responses: Nano talks back; Fantastic voyages of nanopharmaceuticals within biological systems; Manufacturing the future: Economy versus ecology. This GRC will help move the dialog forward.The 2013 Gordon Conference on Environmental Nanotechnology will be held at Stoweflake Resort and Conference Center, Stove, VT from June 2 through 7, 2013. (http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=environano )Broader ImpactsThe broader impact of this conference lies in the establishment of a community of engineers and scientists interested in the applications and implications of nanotechnology. It is anticipated that 200 scientists, engineers, and toxicologists will participate in the conference. This relatively small group of participants will be ideal to promote vigorous discussion and close interchange of ideas that is the hallmark of Gordon Research Conferences. The conference also will involve participants who are junior scholars (undergraduates, doctoral students and postdoctoral). In addition, scientists from groups traditionally under represented will participate. Participants of the Environmental Nanotechnology Research Conference will come from not only the US but around the globe. The steering committee is committed to having diversity (ethnicity, gender, age, employment) among the participants.

该奖项将资助2013年戈登环境纳米技术研究会议。本次会议将试图推动环境纳米技术界走向未来，在未来，用于农业、人类健康/医学和水的纳米材料的可持续设计可以通过最近在了解工程纳米材料在生物体和环境中的命运和毒性方面的突破而获得信息。2013年戈登环境纳米技术研究会议将汇集在各自研究领域前沿的杰出研究人员，并将为早期职业研究人员、博士后和研究生提供独特的机会，以海报形式展示他们的工作。会议将提请注意需要积极地管理纳米技术进入社会的出现，以避免诸如涉及滴滴涕、含铅汽油、多氯联苯、氯化碳和许多其他物质的早期研究所产生的问题，并讨论利用纳米技术造福社会的机会，同时在空气、水、土壤处理以及能源和农业生产等领域保护环境。会议内容包括：环境中纳米级结构的演变；预测交通和向可持续设计的转变；天然与工程纳米材料：从制造到环境命运纳米材料的生命周期影响；食品技术对人类和环境的影响；纳米技术在食品、农业、水和能源领域的应用和解决方案；利用纳米技术推动农业和农业领域的突破；应对全球水资源挑战的微小解决方案；纳米材料对人类健康和生态系统的影响；生态和生物反应：纳米对话；纳米药物在生物系统中的奇妙旅程；制造业的未来：经济vs生态。这个GRC将有助于推动对话向前发展。2013戈登环境纳米技术会议将于2013年6月2日至7日在佛蒙特州斯托弗莱克度假村和会议中心举行。（http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=environano）更广泛的影响本次会议更广泛的影响在于建立了一个由对纳米技术的应用和影响感兴趣的工程师和科学家组成的社区。预计将有200名科学家、工程师和毒理学家参加会议。这一相对较小的参与者群体将非常适合促进积极的讨论和密切的思想交流，这是戈登研究会议的标志。会议还将邀请初级学者（本科生、博士生和博士后）参加。此外，来自传统上代表性不足的群体的科学家也将参与其中。环境纳米技术研究会议的与会者不仅来自美国，而且来自世界各地。指导委员会致力于参与者的多样性（种族、性别、年龄、就业）。
