The proposal requests funds to partially support registration fees for U.S. student participation in the 2018 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Catalysis, which will be held on June 24-29, 2018 at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH, along with the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Catalysis, a new forum that is held two days prior to the main conference (June 23-24, 2018) and is designed specifically to engage and support new entrants to the field of catalysis and to give them the opportunity to build their professional network. The 2018 GRC in Catalysis titled, "Accelerating Catalytic Solutions to Global Grand Challenges," reflects the research background of the Chair, Fabio H. Ribeiro (Chemical Engineering, Purdue University) in the application of catalyst synthesis, reaction kinetics, in situ and operando spectroscopic characterization and theory to understand catalysis. The 2018 GRC in Catalysis, along with the associated GRS in Catalysis, will fully engage chemists, chemical engineers, and materials scientists in a meeting that focuses on applying ground breaking, fundamental advances in catalytic chemistry to address global grand challenges. The Catalysis GRC plays an important role in enhancing the development of researchers in early stages of their careers. The GRC format is designed to foster an environment of in-depth scientific discussion and relationship building among participants. Sufficient time has been set aside both in the seminar room and during breaks and poster sessions for the younger members of the community to discuss new ideas and concepts with recognized research leaders that may lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement. Also, this year we will start a new tradition with the addition of the Catalysis GRS that will bring together graduate students, postdocs, and early-career professionals to discuss their cutting-edge research among peers and mentors in a highly-stimulating and non-intimidating environment over two days prior to the main conference, to which they will be invited. The program will incorporate a mixture of academic and industrial perspectives as well as encourage participation from underrepresented groups. The GRC will have a strong positive diversity impact with women accounting for 45% of the invited speakers, which is a significantly higher percentage than the historical average. To aid to this diversity goal, there will be a Monday afternoon session titled "Power Hour: Committed to Inclusion and the Professional Development of Women in Science," which is an informal gathering open to all meeting participants. This session is designed to help address the challenges women face in science and to support the professional growth of women in our communities by providing an open forum for discussion and mentoring.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.

该提案要求资金部分支持美国学生参加2018年戈登研究会议（GRC）的注册费，该会议将于2018年6月24日至29日在新伦敦的Colby-Sawyer College与新罕布什尔州的Colby-Sawyer学院举行。戈登研究研讨会（GRS）关于催化，这是一个新的论坛，在主要会议前两天（2018年6月23日至24日）举行，专门旨在参与和支持催化领域的新参与者，并给他们提供建立他们的专业网络的机会。 2018年GRC在催化中的标题为“加速全球挑战的催化解决方案”，反映了主席的研究背景，Fabio H. Ribeiro（Purdue University，Purdue University，Purdue University，Purdue University）在催化剂合成，反应动力学，原位和Operando的应用中了解催化的光谱表征和理论。 2018年催化中的GRC以及催化中的相关GRS将在一次会议上充分吸引化学家，化学工程师和材料科学家，该会议着重于应用地面破裂，催化化学的基本进步，以应对全球巨大挑战。催化GRC在增强研究人员的职业生涯早期发展方面起着重要作用。 GRC格式旨在促进参与者之间深入的科学讨论和建立关系的环境。在研讨会室和休息时间和海报会议期间，为年轻的社区成员留出了足够的时间，可以与公认的研究领导者讨论新的想法和概念，这可能会导致一生的协作和科学成就。此外，今年，我们将通过增加催化作用来开始新的传统，该催化剂将召集研究生，博士后和早期职业专业人员，讨论他们在高度刺激和非刺激和非同行和导师中的尖端研究在主要会议之前的两天内，将邀请他们吓到环境。该计划将结合学术和工业观点的混合，并鼓励代表性不足的群体参与。 GRC将对妇女产生强烈的积极多样性影响，占受邀演讲者的45％，这比历史平均水平高得多。为了帮助实现这一多样性目标，将举行一个星期一下午的会议，标题为“ Power Hour：致力于包容和科学女性的专业发展”，这是对所有会议参与者开放的非正式聚会。本届会议旨在通过提供一个开放的讨论和指导论坛来帮助应对妇女在科学领域面临的挑战，并支持我们社区中妇女的专业成长。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为值得通过使用使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
