NSF funds will be used to support the registration and travel costs for junior and early career scientists and engineers at the 2014 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 materials are ubiquitous in a range of industrial and natural systems, yet a quantitative understanding of many phenomena remains elusive and predictive capabilities remain limited. Advances in this field require the participation of multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, each of which has its own goals and techniques. As an example of the interdisciplinary nature of this subject, the proposed conference will highlight connections to the pharmaceutical industry and to the bulk materials processing industry and will focus on the basic and applied aspects of shear-induced transitions in granular media. 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 The guiding principles of the conference include the presentation of new, unpublished work followed by free, unhampered discussion among participants from disciplines that normally do not intersect.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 2014 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。颗粒材料在一系列工业和自然系统中无处不在，但对许多现象的定量理解仍然难以捉摸，预测能力仍然存在有限的。该领域的进步需要多个科学和工程学科的参与，每个学科都有自己的目标和技术。 作为该主题跨学科性质的一个例子，拟议的会议将强调与制药行业和散装材料加工行业的联系，并将重点关注颗粒介质中剪切引起的转变的基础和应用方面。 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。
