This award provides funds to offset the travel and registration expenses for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers attending the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on “Membranes: Materials and Processes” and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). The coordinated events will be held serially at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH, on July 27 to July 28, 2024 (GRS) and July 28 to August 2, 2024 (GRC). The seminar and conference focus on a broad range of membrane separation technologies critical to many industrial and environmental processes. Advancements in these technologies will contribute to improved chemical process efficiencies, environmental sustainability, energy independence, and enhanced competitiveness in the global market. The GRS and GRC also provide valuable educational, career development, and networking opportunities for students and early-career researchers.The 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Membranes: Materials and Processes is centered around the theme of "Multidisciplinary Pathways for Membrane Separation Applications." The conference will allow graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, academics, and industrial and national laboratory researchers to congregate and discuss cutting-edge technology and current research trends and to share mutual experiences while building informal networks with peers that may lead to future collaborations and scientific achievement. By promoting multidisciplinary approaches and focusing on critical societal needs, this conference will drive advancements in membrane science and technology for various energy, water, bioprocessing, and environmental applications. The conference will have sessions on resource recovery and manufacturing of critical materials, membranes for electrochemical processes, machine learning and artificial intelligence for the discovery and design of materials, removal and recovery of forever chemical contaminants, synthesis and characterization of membrane building blocks, enabling the energy transition through next-generation membranes, and grand challenges to inspire interdisciplinary membrane research and development. The formal and informal discussions between the speakers and attendees will provide valuable feedback on current research efforts and enable the participants to further develop and refine new ideas. The organizers have also made special efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity among the speakers and attendees. Notably, the conference will include an informal “Power Hour,” where all meeting participants can gather to discuss the challenges faced by members of underrepresented groups face in STEM. This event helps to create an awareness of these critical issues among the broader community and to encourage action from the community as a whole.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.

该奖项提供资金，以抵消研究生和博士后研究人员参加戈登研究会议（GRC）的“膜：材料和工艺”和相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的差旅费和注册费用。协调活动将于2024年7月27日至2024年7月28日（GRS）和2024年7月28日至8月2日（GRC）在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的Colby-Sawyer学院连续举行。研讨会和会议的重点是对许多工业和环境过程至关重要的广泛的膜分离技术。这些技术的进步将有助于提高化学工艺效率、环境可持续性、能源独立性和增强在全球市场上的竞争力。GRS和GRC还为学生和早期职业研究人员提供了宝贵的教育，职业发展和网络机会。2024年戈登膜研究会议：材料和过程围绕“膜分离应用的多学科途径”这一主题展开。“会议将允许研究生，博士后研究人员，学者以及工业和国家实验室研究人员聚集在一起，讨论尖端技术和当前的研究趋势，并分享相互的经验，同时与同行建立非正式网络，可能导致未来的合作和科学成就。通过促进多学科方法和关注关键的社会需求，本次会议将推动膜科学和技术在各种能源，水，生物加工和环境应用方面的进步。会议将举行关于资源回收和关键材料制造，电化学过程膜，用于材料发现和设计的机器学习和人工智能，永久化学污染物的去除和回收，膜构件的合成和表征，通过下一代膜实现能源转型的会议，和巨大的挑战，激发跨学科的膜研究和开发。演讲者和与会者之间的正式和非正式讨论将为当前的研究工作提供宝贵的反馈，并使与会者能够进一步发展和完善新的想法。组织者还特别努力促进演讲者和与会者的多样性和包容性。值得注意的是，会议将包括一个非正式的“电源小时”，所有与会者可以聚集在一起，讨论代表性不足的群体成员在STEM面临的挑战。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
