Intellectual Merit:Biological systems have evolved means to create polymeric and mineralized materials that are exquisitely designed for high functionality in specific applications. In many cases, the materials of nature display structure-function relationships that exceed our current ability to reproduce in synthetic materials. Nevertheless, our understanding of these designs and the means by which they are produced is now sufficient to encourage efforts to harness or mimic these designs and the methods used in nature to achieve them. This conference will bring together young scientists and experts in the field of bioinspired materials to share recent advances and new methodologies. It is anticipated that international interactions, including student exchanges and research collaborations, will emerge from the conference that will advance both research and education in this area.Broader Impacts:Enhancing young scientist (graduate student, postdoc, junior faculty) participation in the worldwide activities of bioinspired materials research, which leads to broadening of their professional experiences, stimulating interactions and collaborations with the international bioinspired materials community, and fostering the development of a new generation of young scientists, is a primary goal of this conference. This Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will have broad impacts through the promotion and cross-disciplinary fertilization of new ideas in the emerging field of Bioinspired Materials and will stimulate international exchanges and interactions between young scientists, underrepresented minority scientists, junior faculty, and prominent senior investigators. It will do so by bringing together a diverse group of researchers at one venue who have common interests that span the field of Bioinspired Materials. By doing so, the PIs hope to stimulate the growth of this area of research, and professional development of researchers in this field, by providing a single venue for the dissemination and exchange of results and ideas. The ultimate, long-term goal for the Bioinspired Materials GRC is to be the first choice for researchers in this field. If PIs succeed in building a cohesive community of scholars through this GRC, as other GRCs have done for many other interdisciplinary fields, PIs believe that this GRC will have had a broad impact on the field of Bioinspired Materials. The broader impacts of the GRC are enhanced in 2016 by incorporating an accompanying GRS on Bioinspired Materials. The GRS will provide a unique venue where young researchers can interact in a forum of their own design and develop professional networks, discuss scientific advances, as well as receive career advice from a panel of senior investigators. The organizers will endeavor to involve as many younger scientists and scientist from groups underrepresented in the STEM workforce as possible.

智力价值：生物系统已经进化出创造聚合物和矿化材料的方法，这些材料经过精心设计，可在特定应用中实现高功能性。在许多情况下，自然材料表现出的结构-功能关系超出了我们目前在合成材料中复制的能力。然而，我们对这些设计和制作方法的了解，现在足以鼓励我们努力利用或模仿这些设计和自然界中用来实现这些设计的方法。本次会议将汇聚生物启发材料领域的年轻科学家和专家，分享最新进展和新方法。预计会议将产生包括学生交流和研究合作在内的国际互动，促进这一领域的研究和教育。广泛的影响：促进青年科学家(研究生、博士后、初级教师)参与全球生物启发材料研究活动，从而拓宽他们的专业经验，促进与国际生物启发材料界的互动和合作，并促进新一代青年科学家的发展，这是本次会议的主要目标。本次戈登研究会议(GRC)和戈登研究研讨会(GRS)将通过促进和跨学科促进新兴生物灵感材料领域的新想法产生广泛影响，并将促进年轻科学家、未被充分代表的少数族裔科学家、初级教员和著名高级研究人员之间的国际交流和互动。它将通过将一群不同的研究人员聚集在一个地点来做到这一点，这些研究人员在生物灵感材料领域有着共同的兴趣。通过这样做，私人投资机构希望通过提供一个单一的场所来传播和交流结果和想法，来刺激这一研究领域的增长和这一领域研究人员的专业发展。生物启发材料GRC的最终长期目标是成为这一领域研究人员的首选。如果PIs成功地通过这个GRC建立了一个有凝聚力的学者社区，就像其他GRC在许多其他跨学科领域所做的那样，PIs相信这个GRC将对生物灵感材料领域产生广泛的影响。2016年，通过纳入附带的生物灵感材料GRS，GRC的更广泛影响得到了加强。GRS将提供一个独特的场所，年轻的研究人员可以在他们自己设计的论坛上互动，发展专业网络，讨论科学进步，以及接受高级调查小组的职业建议。组织者将努力让尽可能多的年轻科学家和来自STEM劳动力队伍中代表性不足的群体的科学家参与进来。
