The project supports attendance of graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and early-career research scientists/engineers at the 2022 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Catalysis, which will be held on June 19-23, 2022 at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH, along with the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Catalysis, a two-day event held immediately prior to the GRC that provides network-building opportunities for new entrants to the field of catalysis. Catalysis has long served as a critical industrial and environmental technology for facilitating the efficient and targeted conversion of raw materials to fuels and chemical products, while also remediating waste products and pollutants. In recent years, catalysis research has shifted strongly to opportunities for facilitating sustainable supplies of food, energy, and water, while also mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases. To those ends, the Catalysis GRC will bring together prominent catalysis researchers to share the latest advances in catalysis research while also facilitating generational transfer of knowledge and collaborative opportunities between senior leaders and newer entrants to the field. Specifically, the conference will focus on the dissemination of knowledge by a wide variety of scientists to explore how precise synthesis of materials, advanced characterization techniques, detailed kinetics, and advances in theory combine to create new understanding in catalysis as applied to global challenges in energy and the environment. The meeting goals will be met through four key approaches: (1) a strong scientific program focused on the meeting theme, "Advancing Sustainable Technologies through Catalysis"; (2) participation by a diverse group of speakers, including junior investigators and senior thought-leaders, representatives of industry, academia and national labs, as well as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers; (3) cross-disciplinary fertilization of ideas in catalysis and sustainability, by exploring common themes related to alternative energy sources and renewable or sustainable feedstocks; and (4) fostering a sense of community by promoting interactions between prominent senior investigators in the field and young scientists, underrepresented minority scientists, and junior faculty. The Catalysis GRC has seen steady advances in recent years toward promoting diversity in all forms. The 2022 GRC will continue and expand that trend with particular emphasis on promoting opportunities for women in catalysis. That emphasis is reflected in only the second female conference chair in the 73-year history of the Catalysis GRC, together with women accounting for 10 of the 30 invited speakers and discussion leaders (significantly more than typical), and a trade-marked GRC Power Hour session: ”Power Hour: Committed to Inclusion and the Professional Development of Women in Science.”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.

该项目支持在2022年戈登研究会议（GRC）上的研究生，博士后研究人员和早期职业研究科学家/工程师的出勤率，该会议将于2022年6月19日至23日在新伦敦的Colby-Sawyer College举行，新伦敦的Colby-Sawyer College NH，NH，以及相关的Gordon Research Seminar（GRS）的纽约市（GRC），这是两种事件，该网络（GRC）在catalsission上进行了两次竞争，该公司的竞争者（GRS）是两次，竞争者（GRC），以及catalsy的竞争者（GRC），竞争效率用于催化剂领域的新条目。长期以来，催化一直是一种至关重要的工业和环境技术，用于支持原材料和化学产品的有效和有针对性的转换，同时还可以修复废物产品和污染物。近年来，催化研究已急剧转移到开发可持续的食品，能源和水的机会，同时还可以减轻温室气体的排放。在这一目标中，催化GRC将汇集著名的催化研究人员分享催化研究的最新进展，同时还支持高级领导者与该领域的新入口之间的知识和协作机会的世代化转移。具体而言，该会议将集中于各种科学家对知识的传播，以探讨材料，先进特征技术，详细动力学和理论进步的精确综合，以在催化中创造新的理解，以适应全球能源和环境的全球挑战。会议目标将通过四种关键方法实现：（1）一个强大的科学计划，重点是“通过催化来推进可持续技术”； （2）由代表行业，学术界和国家实验室的少年调查员和高级思想领袖在内的潜水员组成的演讲者以及研究生和博士后研究人员的参与； （3）通过探索与替代能源以及可再生或可持续原料有关的共同主题，对催化和可持续性中思想的跨学科施肥； （4）通过促进该领域的著名高级研究人员与年轻科学家，代表性不足的少数族裔科学家和初级教师之间的互动来培养一种社区感。近年来，催化GRC在促进各种形式的多样性方面取得了稳步的进步。 2022年的GRC将继续并扩大这一趋势，特别着重于促进催化妇女的机会。这种重点仅反映在催化GRC的73年历史上的第二任女会议主席中，以及妇女在30名受邀演讲者和讨论领导者中的10个妇女（比典型的演讲者和讨论负责人多得多），以及商标的GRC Power Hour会议：“ Power Hour：Power Hour：致力于纳入妇女在科学中的妇女的纳入和专业发展。”该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
