This award is for partial support of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Tribology, to be held 25-28 July 2014 at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Tribology - the study of friction, lubrication, and wear - is essential to technological applications with moving parts, from large machineries and cars, to medical implants, to micro-mechanical mirrors in projectors. Regular meetings of the key researchers in this field are necessary for the exchange of ideas, information, and state-of-the-art technologies, in order to enable and accelerate advances and breakthroughs the field. The Gordon Conference is a key mechanism for linking the basic sciences with an engineering discipline of significant importance to the US and world economies. This GRC is held biannually and offers an interesting, even unique, forum for the open exchange of new and previously unpublished scientific ideas. In addition to poster presentations, the conference includes presentations and extended discussion and interactions among participants. This forum has been responsible for the generation and incubation of breakthrough and truly transformative ideas in a wide variety of topical areas. An important aspect of the 2014 conference is the addition of the Gordon Research Seminar, which is a forum for students and early-career researchers to exchange ideas in an informal but dynamic setting.NSF support of this GRC will enable the participation of junior participants, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty members, funding a total of 27 participants (12 for the Gordon Research Conference and 15 for the Gordon Research Seminar), and 15 travel grants for the Gordon Research Seminar.

该奖项旨在奖励对戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登摩擦学研究研讨会（GRS）的部分支持，该会议将于2014年7月25日至28日在马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆的本特利大学举行。摩擦学-摩擦，润滑和磨损的研究-是必不可少的技术应用与移动部件，从大型机械和汽车，医疗植入物，微型机械镜在投影仪。该领域主要研究人员的定期会议对于交流思想，信息和最先进的技术是必要的，以实现和加速该领域的进步和突破。戈登会议是将基础科学与对美国和世界经济具有重要意义的工程学科联系起来的关键机制。这个研讨会每两年举行一次，为新的和以前未发表的科学思想的公开交流提供了一个有趣的，甚至是独特的论坛。 除了海报展示，会议还包括演讲和与会者之间的广泛讨论和互动。 该论坛一直负责在各种主题领域产生和孵化突破性和真正变革性的想法。 2014年会议的一个重要方面是增加了戈登研究研讨会，这是一个论坛，学生和早期职业研究人员在一个非正式但充满活力的环境中交流思想。NSF对这个GRC的支持将使初级参与者，包括研究生，博士后研究员和早期职业教师，资助共27名参与者（12名参加戈登研究会议，15名参加戈登研究研讨会），并为戈登研究研讨会提供15笔差旅赠款。
