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 日在新罕布什尔州中部科尔比索耶学院举行的 2023 年戈登研究会议 (GRC)，主题是“软凝聚态物质：生命和主动系统的软且可持续的构建模块”。具体来说，该奖项将通过抵消差旅费和注册费来增加初级研究人员、研究生、博士后研究员和代表性不足群体的数量。本次会议将延续其长期以来的传统，即召集高度跨学科的科学家小组，在软凝聚态物质的保护下探索广泛的主题。2023年软物质GRC计划汇集了一些主题，这些主题交叉了凝聚态物质和生物衍生材料领域的人们感兴趣的方法和材料，例如活性凝胶、胶体分散体、膜和机器学习的应用。此外，本次会议将强调软物质科学在发展高分子材料新循环经济方面将发挥日益重要的作用，重点是材料科学和加工。除了通过增加年轻和多元化参与者的数量来扩大参与范围外，我们还将举办 GRC 组织的活动，该活动专门旨在扩大认识并为参加会议的妇女和少数族裔提供指导。此外，该奖项将部分支持那些参加戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的人，该研讨会将汇集研究生和博士后研究员，其计划旨在鼓励同行和少数高级主持人促进开放的思想交流。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。
