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）：本申请的目的是寻求对将于2014年6月21日至27日在美国缅因州纽里星期日河度假村举行的生物启发材料戈登研究会议（GRC）和研讨会（GRS）的支持。新兴的跨学科领域的生物启发材料的重点是发展的合成，定向自组装和自然发生的材料的层次组织的基本理解，并利用这种理解工程师新的“生物启发”人工材料的不同应用。本次会议由菲利普梅瑟史密斯（西北大学）和蒂莫西德明（加州大学洛杉矶分校）副主席主持，将是一系列诞生于双重认识的第二次会议：（1）在生物启发材料领域的研究爆炸;然而（2）没有单一和独特的场地，只关注 传播这一领域的研究成果。生物启发材料的GRC的目标是提供一个尖端的科学计划，由一系列杰出的特邀演讲者和讨论负责人提供，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。我们的目标是成为生物启发材料研究人员的首选会议。本次会议的一个新特点将是第一次戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的生物启发材料，这是由初级研究人员构思和组织，并将提供学生和博士后研究员的机会，分别召开1.5天前的GRC。该GRC的影响将包括促进新思想的跨学科施肥，从而在未来创造新颖的生物启发材料，并培养一个有凝聚力的社区，由成熟和年轻的科学家，代表性不足的少数民族研究人员和具有杰出高级研究人员的初级教师组成。
