NSF funds will be used to support the registration and travel costs for junior and early career scientists and engineers at the 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Granular and Granular-Fluid Flows. We will also use these funds to support participation by members of underrepresented groups. Such support will fill a crucial, national need to continue to train the future work force in the science of particle technology.Granular flows are prevalent in a range of natural and industrial systems, and research in the field is conducted within multiple scientific and engineering, each of which has its own goals and techniques. This year's conference will have sessions on Geophysics, Wet Granular Materials, Charged Granular Materials, Granular Gases, Continuum Models of Granular Flow, Vibration & Acoustics, Sheared Granular Materials, and Friction & Drag. Speakers were selected to highlight connections to geophysics and geotechnical granular materials by inviting speakers with interests spanning from oil recovery to environmental dynamics to civil engineering to earthquakes. In selecting invited speakers, we have taken care to include members of under-represented groups.The GRC provides a unique forum for the exchange of fresh scientific ideas between disciplines, as well as between junior and senior researchers. The guiding principles of the conference include the presentation of new, unpublished work followed by free, unhampered discussion among participants from disciplines that normally do not intersect. The structure GRC accomplishes this by providing formal discussion periods after every talk (guided by a discussion leader), time for small-group discussions, daily poster sessions, and shared meals with on-site housing. Each discussion leader will prepare a short presentation to provide context and provoke good discussions. This format provides an environment in which new collaborations can be forged to help tackle longstanding problems.

NSF 资金将用于支持初级和早期职业科学家和工程师参加 2012 年戈登颗粒和颗粒流体流动研究会议的注册和旅行费用。我们还将利用这些资金来支持代表性不足群体成员的参与。这种支持将满足国家继续培训粒子技术科学未来劳动力的关键需求。颗粒流在一系列自然和工业系统中普遍存在，该领域的研究是在多个科学和工程领域进行的，每个都有自己的目标和技术。今年的会议将举办关于地球物理学、湿颗粒材料、带电颗粒材料、颗粒气体、颗粒流连续体模型、振动与声学、剪切颗粒材料以及摩擦与阻力的会议。通过邀请感兴趣的演讲者，从石油采收到环境动力学，从土木工程到地震，选择演讲者来强调与地球物理学和岩土颗粒材料的联系。在选择受邀演讲者时，我们注意将代表性不足群体的成员纳入其中。GRC 为学科之间以及初级和高级研究人员之间交流新鲜的科学思想提供了一个独特的论坛。会议的指导原则包括介绍新的、未发表的工作，然后来自通常不交叉学科的参与者进行自由、不受阻碍的讨论。 GRC 结构通过在每次演讲后提供正式讨论时间（由讨论领导者指导）、小组讨论时间、每日海报会议以及与现场住宿共享餐食来实现这一目标。每位讨论领导者将准备一个简短的演示，以提供背景信息并引发良好的讨论。这种形式提供了一个可以建立新合作的环境，以帮助解决长期存在的问题。
