This award supports the Gordon Research Seminar and at the Gordon Research Conference on Tribology held on June 24-29, 2018 at Bates College, Lewiston, ME, USA. 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 science of tribology impacts the national prosperity through improvements in manufacturing and energy reduction. 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 This GRC is held biannually and a unique forum for the open exchange of new and previously unpublished scientific ideas.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. The theme of the 2018 Gordon Research Conference is interdisciplinarity bringing together scientists and engineers from a variety of disciplines to discuss and debate the forefront research questions, and to identify areas for significant breakthroughs in tribology that are likely to be found at the interfaces between the classical fields. An important aspect of the 2018 conference is the Gordon Research Seminar. The Gordon Research Seminar is held the weekend before the Gordon Research Conference and is a forum for students and early-career researchers to exchange ideas in an informal but dynamic setting. National Science Foundation support from the Materials Engineering and Processing Program enables the participation of 15 junior participants, including graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, at the Gordon Research Seminar, and 12 invited early-career speakers and discussion leaders at the Gordon Research Conference. The Gordon conference is a premier workshop venue which allows weeklong discussion with not resulting conference summary published. This allows for the free flow of ideas and information within an open environment. The topics range from the atomic origins of friction and lubrication to the tribology of the earth. The workshop will focus on interdisciplinary and unpublished work with research presentations to inform the community in a small group format with ~100 attendees to foster discussion. NSF participant support is directed to the individuals from underrepresented groups, including gender and ethnic diversity; first-time GRC/GRS attendees and people from diverse fields to broaden the attendance base; and individuals with evidence of high-quality, early-career research accomplishments.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持戈登研究研讨会和戈登摩擦学研究会议于2018年6月24日至29日在美国缅因州刘易斯顿贝茨学院举行。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。摩擦学的科学通过改善制造业和减少能源消耗来影响国家的繁荣。戈登会议是将基础科学与对美国和世界经济至关重要的工程学科联系起来的关键机制。该研讨会每两年举行一次，是一个独特的论坛，用于公开交流新的和以前未发表的科学思想。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。2018年戈登研究会议的主题是跨学科性，汇集了来自各个学科的科学家和工程师，讨论和辩论前沿研究问题，并确定可能在经典领域之间的界面上发现的摩擦学重大突破领域。2018年会议的一个重要方面是戈登研究研讨会。戈登研究研讨会在戈登研究会议之前的周末举行，是学生和早期职业研究人员在非正式但充满活力的环境中交流思想的论坛。来自材料工程和加工计划的国家科学基金会支持使15名初级参与者，包括研究生和博士后学者，参加戈登研究研讨会，并邀请12名早期职业演讲者和讨论领导人参加戈登研究会议。戈登会议是一个主要的研讨会场所，允许为期一周的讨论，而不会发表会议摘要。这使得思想和信息在开放的环境中自由流动。主题范围从摩擦和润滑的原子起源到地球的摩擦学。该研讨会将侧重于跨学科和未发表的工作与研究报告，以告知社区在一个小团体的格式与约100与会者，以促进讨论。NSF的参与者支持是针对代表性不足的群体，包括性别和种族多样性的个人;第一次参加GRC/GRS的人和来自不同领域的人，以扩大出席基础;和有证据证明高质量，早-职业研究成就。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估来支持审查标准。
