The award will provide funding in support of participation by U.S. graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and early-career researchers at the 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Nanoporous Materials and Their Applications: Porous Materials from Invention to Emerging Applications. The GRC and related Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be held at Proctor Academy (Andover, New Hampshire) from August 3-9, 2019. The combined GRC/GRS will provide partial support for approximately 33 student attendees from U.S. institutions to focus on new developments in the field of nanoporous materials, including novel materials and their potential application to a wide range of commercial technologies in areas as diverse as chemical manufacturing, petroleum and natural gas refining, electronic materials, and medical applications. The students will also benefit from interactions with senior leaders in the field and related networking activities designed to highlight career opportunities related to nanoporous material technologies.The Nanoporous Materials and Their Applications GRS/GRC will focus on new developments in the field of nanoporous materials. Such materials (zeolites, porous metal oxides, metal-organic frameworks, porous carbon, porous cages and liquids and similar materials) are amongst today's most dynamic and diversified research fields. The program addresses important new findings related to the invention of novel materials, characterization of their unique properties, and the use of these materials in emerging applications involving catalysis, separations, gas storage, and other processes of commercial and environmental importance. The program addresses these topics through invited lectures, poster presentations, and general discussion focused on linking fundamental understanding to potential applications. Emphasis will be placed on intermingling different classes of nanoporous materials, such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. The program also balances theoretical and experimental approaches to addressing questions related to structure and applicability. Beyond the technological aspects, the conference seeks to gather leading and emerging scientists in this field and bring them together to share ideas and foster new collaborations. With respect to this larger goal, the GRC seeks to provide a common language for our diverse student body; to raise the comfort-level of our student/postdoc participants; and, through these efforts, to develop a tightly-woven community held together by a common interest in nanoporous materials. The accompanying Gordon Research Seminar that is dedicated to and organized by graduate students and post-doctoral researchers will aid in the active participation of this new generation of scientists. The collegial, retreat-like atmosphere of the conference, with exciting invited lectures, which are complemented by lively poster sessions, as well as communal dinners, opportunities for informal gatherings, and mentoring panels, provides a venue for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm together and promotes cross-disciplinary collaborations in the various research areas represented. Additional efforts have been made by the organizers to encourage the participation of underrepresented minorities and women. At this meeting, 25% of the invited speakers and discussion leaders are women. In addition, an informal power hour focusing on the career development of women in science will be included.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.

该奖项将为美国研究生、博士后学者和早期研究人员参加 2019 年戈登研究会议 (GRC) 纳米多孔材料及其应用：从发明到新兴应用的多孔材料提供资金。 GRC 和相关的戈登研究研讨会 (GRS) 将于 2019 年 8 月 3 日至 9 日在普罗克特学院（新罕布什尔州安多佛）举行。合并后的 GRC/GRS 将为来自美国院校的约 33 名学生参与者提供部分支持，以重点关注纳米多孔材料领域的新发展，包括新型材料及其在化学制造、石油和天然等领域的广泛商业技术的潜在应用 气体精炼、电子材料和医疗应用。学生还将受益于与该领域高级领导者的互动以及旨在突出与纳米多孔材料技术相关的职业机会的相关网络活动。纳米多孔材料及其应用GRS/GRC将重点关注纳米多孔材料领域的新发展。此类材料（沸石、多孔金属氧化物、金属有机骨架、多孔碳、多孔笼和液体以及类似材料）是当今最具活力和多样化的研究领域之一。该计划阐述了与新型材料的发明、其独特性能的表征以及这些材料在涉及催化、分离、气体储存和其他具有商业和环境重要性的过程的新兴应用中的使用相关的重要新发现。该计划通过邀请讲座、海报展示和一般性讨论来讨论这些主题，重点是将基本理解与潜在应用联系起来。重点将放在不同类别的纳米多孔材料的混合上，例如沸石和金属有机框架。该计划还平衡理论和实验方法来解决与结构和适用性相关的问题。除了技术方面之外，会议还寻求聚集该领域的领先和新兴科学家，让他们聚集在一起分享想法并促进新的合作。为了实现这一更大的目标，GRC 力求为我们多元化的学生群体提供共同语言；提高学生/博士后参与者的舒适度；并通过这些努力，建立一个因对纳米多孔材料的共同兴趣而紧密相连的社区。随附的戈登研究研讨会专门为研究生和博士后研究人员组织，将有助于新一代科学家的积极参与。会议的学院式静修氛围、令人兴奋的特邀讲座、热闹的海报会议、公共晚宴、非正式聚会的机会和指导小组，为来自不同学科的科学家提供了一个共同集思广益的场所，并促进了所代表的各个研究领域的跨学科合作。组织者还做出了更多努力来鼓励代表性不足的少数群体和妇女的参与。在本次会议上，25%的受邀演讲者和讨论领袖是女性。此外，还将包括一个关注科学界女性职业发展的非正式权力时间。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
