This award supports the 2023 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Soft Condensed Matter: The Soft and Sustainable Building Blocks of Living and Active Systems taking place at Colby Sawyer College in central New Hampshire from August 13th through 18th, 2023. Specifically, this award will increase the number of junior researchers, graduate students, post doctoral fellows and underrepresented groups by offsetting the cost of travel and registration fees. This conference will continue its long tradition of assembling a highly interdisciplinary group of scientists to explore the broad range of topics under the umbrella of Soft Condensed Matter.The 2023 Soft Matter GRC program brings together topics that cross-cut methods and materials of interest to those rooted in condensed matter and biologically derived materials such as active gels, colloidal dispersions, membranes and applications of machine learning. Moreover, this conference will highlight the ever increasing role that soft matter science will play in developing a new circular economy for polymeric materials with an emphasis on the materials science and processing. In addition to broadening participation through the increased number of young and diverse participants, we will hold a GRC organized event that is specifically designed to broaden awareness and provide guidance to women and minorities who are participating in the conference. In addition, this award will partially support those attending the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) which will bring together graduate students and post-doctoral fellows with a program designed to encourage the open exchange of ideas that is facilitated by peers and a small number of senior moderators.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.

该奖项支持于2023年8月13日至18日在新罕布夏州中部的科尔比·索耶学院举行的2023年戈登凝聚态研究会议(GRC)：生命和主动系统的软和可持续构建块。具体地说，该奖项将通过抵消旅费和注册费，增加初级研究人员、研究生、博士后研究员和代表性不足群体的数量。本次会议将延续其聚集高度跨学科的科学家小组的悠久传统，在软凝聚物质的保护伞下探索广泛的主题。2023年软物质GRC计划汇集了那些植根于凝聚态物质和生物衍生材料(如活性凝胶、胶体分散体、膜和机器学习的应用)的交叉方法和材料的主题。此外，本次会议将突出软物质科学在发展以材料科学和加工为重点的聚合物材料新的循环经济方面发挥的日益重要的作用。除了通过增加更多的年轻和多样化的参与者来扩大参与之外，我们还将举办GRC组织的活动，专门为参加会议的妇女和少数民族提高认识并提供指导。此外，这一奖项将部分支持那些参加戈登研究研讨会(GRS)的人，该研讨会将把研究生和博士后研究员聚集在一起，通过一个旨在鼓励同行和少数高级主持人促进思想开放交流的项目。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
