The award will provide funding in support of participation by U.S. graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and early-career researchers at the 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Nanoporous Materials and Their Applications: Porous Materials from Invention to Emerging Applications. The GRC and related Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be held at Proctor Academy (Andover, New Hampshire) from August 3-9, 2019. The combined GRC/GRS will provide partial support for approximately 33 student attendees from U.S. institutions to focus on new developments in the field of nanoporous materials, including novel materials and their potential application to a wide range of commercial technologies in areas as diverse as chemical manufacturing, petroleum and natural gas refining, electronic materials, and medical applications. The students will also benefit from interactions with senior leaders in the field and related networking activities designed to highlight career opportunities related to nanoporous material technologies.The Nanoporous Materials and Their Applications GRS/GRC will focus on new developments in the field of nanoporous materials. Such materials (zeolites, porous metal oxides, metal-organic frameworks, porous carbon, porous cages and liquids and similar materials) are amongst today's most dynamic and diversified research fields. The program addresses important new findings related to the invention of novel materials, characterization of their unique properties, and the use of these materials in emerging applications involving catalysis, separations, gas storage, and other processes of commercial and environmental importance. The program addresses these topics through invited lectures, poster presentations, and general discussion focused on linking fundamental understanding to potential applications. Emphasis will be placed on intermingling different classes of nanoporous materials, such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. The program also balances theoretical and experimental approaches to addressing questions related to structure and applicability. Beyond the technological aspects, the conference seeks to gather leading and emerging scientists in this field and bring them together to share ideas and foster new collaborations. With respect to this larger goal, the GRC seeks to provide a common language for our diverse student body; to raise the comfort-level of our student/postdoc participants; and, through these efforts, to develop a tightly-woven community held together by a common interest in nanoporous materials. The accompanying Gordon Research Seminar that is dedicated to and organized by graduate students and post-doctoral researchers will aid in the active participation of this new generation of scientists. The collegial, retreat-like atmosphere of the conference, with exciting invited lectures, which are complemented by lively poster sessions, as well as communal dinners, opportunities for informal gatherings, and mentoring panels, provides a venue for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm together and promotes cross-disciplinary collaborations in the various research areas represented. Additional efforts have been made by the organizers to encourage the participation of underrepresented minorities and women. At this meeting, 25% of the invited speakers and discussion leaders are women. In addition, an informal power hour focusing on the career development of women in science will be included.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.

该奖项将在2019年戈登研究会议（GRC）上提供有关纳米多孔材料及其应用的2019年戈登研究会议（GRC）的美国研究生，博士后学者和早期研究人员的参与资金：从发明到新兴申请的多孔材料。 GRC及相关戈登研究研讨会（GRS）将于2019年8月3日至9日在Proctor Academy（新罕布什尔州安多佛市）举行。联合GRC/GRS将为来自美国机构的大约33名学生参与者提供部分支持纳米多孔材料领域的新开发项目，包括新型材料及其在化学制造，石油和天然气精炼，电子材料和医疗应用等各种地区的广泛商业技术中的潜在应用。学生还将受益于与该领域的高级领导者的互动以及旨在突出与纳米方面材料技术相关的职业机会的相关网络活动。纳米多孔材料及其应用GRS/GRC将重点关注纳米多孔材料领域的新发展。这样的材料（沸石，多孔金属氧化物，金属有机框架，多孔碳，多孔笼子和液体以及类似材料）是当今最动态和多样化的研究领域之一。该计划介绍了与新材料的发明，其独特特性的表征以及这些材料在涉及催化，分离，气体存储以及其他商业和环境重要性过程的重要新发现。该计划通过邀请的讲座，海报演示和一般讨论来解决这些主题，重点是将基本理解与潜在应用联系起来。重点将放在混合不同类别的纳米多孔材料（例如沸石和金属有机框架）上。该计划还可以平衡理论和实验方法，以解决与结构和适用性有关的问题。除了技术方面，会议还试图在该领域收集领先和新兴的科学家，并将他们聚集在一起，分享想法并培养新的合作。关于这个更大的目标，GRC试图为我们多样化的学生团体提供一种共同的语言。提高我们的学生/博士后参与者的舒适级别；并且，通过这些努力，建立一个对纳米多孔材料的共同兴趣共同培养的社区。由研究生和博士后研究人员致力于并组织的戈登研究研讨会将有助于这一新一代科学家的积极参与。会议的联盟，像务虚会般的氛围，令人兴奋的邀请的讲座，包括活泼的海报会议，公共晚餐，非正式聚会的机会和指导小组，为来自不同纪律的科学家们提供集思广益的科学家提供了集思广益的场所并促进代表各个研究领域的跨学科合作。组织者为鼓励代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的参与做出了额外的努力。在这次会议上，有25％的被邀请的演讲者和讨论负责人是女性。此外，将包括一个非正式的力量小时，重点关注科学妇女的职业发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
