DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this application is to seek support for the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) on Bioinspired Materials to be held June 21-27, 2014 at Sunday River Resort, Newry, ME, USA. The emerging, interdisciplinary field of Bioinspired Materials focuses on developing a fundamental understanding of the synthesis, directed self-assembly and hierarchical organization of natural occurring materials, and uses this understanding to engineer new "bioinspired" artificial materials for diverse applications. This conference, chaired by Phillip Messersmith (Northwestern University) and vice-chaired by Timothy Deming (UCLA) will be the second in a series that was born from the twin realizations that: (1) there is an explosion of research in the field of Bioinspired Materials; and yet (2) there is no single and unique venue that solely focuses on the dissemination of research in this field. The objective of the GRC on Bioinspired Materials is to offer a cutting- edge scientific program delivered by a roster of distinguished invited speakers and discussion leaders who will address the key issues in the field and capture the excitement of this burgeoning field. We aim to become the conference of choice for researchers in bioinspired materials. A new feature of this conference will be the first Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Bioinspired Materials which was conceived and organized by junior researchers and will offer students and postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to convene separately for 1.5 days prior to the GRC. The impacts of this GRC will include the promotion of cross-disciplinary fertilization of new ideas leading to future creation of novel bioinspired materials, and the cultivation of a cohesive community of established and young scientists, underrepresented minority researchers, and junior faculty with prominent senior investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是为将于 2014 年 6 月 21 日至 27 日在美国缅因州纽里周日河度假村举行的仿生材料戈登研究会议 (GRC) 和研讨会 (GRS) 寻求支持。仿生材料这一新兴的跨学科领域专注于发展对天然材料的合成、定向自组装和分层组织的基本理解，并利用这种理解来设计用于各种应用的新型“仿生”人造材料。本次会议由 Phillip Messersmith（西北大学）担任主席，Timothy Deming（加州大学洛杉矶分校）担任副主席，这将是一系列会议中的第二次会议，该系列会议源于以下双重认识：（1）仿生材料领域的研究出现爆炸式增长；然而 (2) 没有一个单一且独特的场所专注于 致力于传播该领域的研究成果。仿生材料 GRC 的目标是提供由一批杰出的受邀演讲者和讨论领袖提供的前沿科学计划，他们将解决该领域的关键问题并捕捉这个新兴领域的兴奋点。我们的目标是成为仿生材料研究人员的首选会议。本次会议的一个新特点是首届戈登仿生材料研究研讨会 (GRS)，该研讨会由初级研究人员构思和组织，将为学生和博士后研究员提供在 GRC 召开前 1.5 天单独召开会议的机会。该 GRC 的影响将包括促进新思想的跨学科融合，从而导致未来新型仿生材料的创造，以及培养一个由知名科学家和年轻科学家、代表性不足的少数族裔研究人员以及具有杰出高级研究人员的初级教师组成的有凝聚力的社区。
