Nontechnical: This award by the Biomaterials Program in the Division of Materials Research to Materials Research Society is to partially support the 2014 Fall Meeting of Materials Research Society (MRS) Symposium on "Reverse Engineering of Bio-Inspired Nanomaterials" in Boston, MA on November 30-December 5, 2014. The objectives of this Symposium are: 1) bringing together a diverse group of speakers comprised of leaders and young researchers; 2) promoting cross disciplinary fertilization of new ideas in Bioinspired Nanomaterials; and 3)creating a sense of community by promoting interaction among young scientists, underrepresented minority scientists, and junior faculty members with prominent senior investigators in the field. The program serves both to educate the biomaterials and engineering community in the highly relevant field of bioinspired nanomaterial, and to stimulate discussions on current approaches from materials research, engineering and biological perspectives. This Symposium is specifically designed to provide a venue for drawing in young scientists and researchers, and getting involved at the Frontier of Science. Graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education will come together in a highly-stimulating environment to discuss their current research and build informal networks with their peers, and these interactions may lead to a lifetime of collaborations and scientific advancement.Technical: The focus of this MRS Symposium is on "Reverse Engineering of Bio-Inspired Nanomaterials" and in pursuing a fundamental understanding of the materials design principles in nature using basic biological building blocks such as DNA/RNA, peptide/proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, etc., and re-engineering hierarchically organized functional structures for various applications. Progress in bio-inspired or biomimetic materials design provides new solutions to tackle challenging scientific problems in energy, medicine, nanomanufacturing, and other related areas. This Symposium will be on physical scientific and engineering aspects of bioinspired nanomaterials. The attendees of this multidisciplinary Symposium will be biologists, bioengineers, chemists, physicists, materials scientists, etc., and they will be addressing the challenges in translating ground breaking fundamental scientific advances in biology and physical sciences into products in biomaterials and naomaterials among others.

非技术性：该奖项由材料研究学会材料研究部的生物材料计划颁发，部分支持2014年11月30日至12月5日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的材料研究学会（MRS）2014年秋季会议“生物启发纳米材料的逆向工程”研讨会。本次研讨会的目标是：1）汇集了由领导者和年轻研究人员组成的多样化的演讲者群体; 2）促进生物启发纳米材料新思想的跨学科施肥;和3）通过促进年轻科学家，代表性不足的少数民族科学家和初级教师与该领域杰出的高级研究人员之间的互动，创造一种社区感。该计划旨在教育生物材料和工程界在生物启发纳米材料的高度相关领域，并从材料研究，工程和生物学的角度激发对当前方法的讨论。本次研讨会是专门为吸引年轻科学家和研究人员，并参与科学前沿提供场所。研究生、博士后和其他具有类似经验和教育水平的科学家将在一个高度刺激的环境中聚集在一起，讨论他们目前的研究，并与同行建立非正式的网络，这些互动可能会导致终身的合作和科学进步。技术：本次MRS研讨会的重点是“生物启发纳米材料的逆向工程”并在追求的材料设计原理的基本理解，在自然界中使用基本的生物积木，如DNA/RNA，肽/蛋白质，脂质，多糖，等等，并为各种应用程序重新设计分层组织的功能结构。生物启发或仿生材料设计的进展为解决能源，医学，纳米制造和其他相关领域的挑战性科学问题提供了新的解决方案。本次研讨会将讨论仿生纳米材料的物理科学和工程方面。这个多学科研讨会的与会者将是生物学家，生物工程师，化学家，物理学家，材料科学家等，他们将应对将生物学和物理科学的突破性基础科学进展转化为生物材料和纳米材料等产品的挑战。
