THE 2017 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE (GRC) ON THE ORIGINS OF SOLAR SYSTEMS WILL BE HELD JUNE 18-JUNE 23 2017. THIS MEETING BRINGS TOGETHER SCIENTISTS FROM THE FIELDS OF ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS COSMOCHEMISTRY PLANETARY SCIENCE AND EARTH SCIENCES TO DISCUSS FRONTIER RESEARCH FOCUSED ON UNDERSTANDING THE FORMATION OF PLANETS AND PLANETARY SYSTEMS. THE FOCUS ON THIS YEAR WILL BE UNDER THE SUBTITLE MAKING A HABITABLE PLANET . THIS TOPIC IS WELL SUPPORTED BY NASA S CURRENT SCIENCE FOCUS UNDER NASA S SCIENCE VISION AND PLAN. THE ORIGINS GRC HAS A LONG HISTORY OF FUELING NEW DISCOVERIES AND INSPIRING CROSS-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH DEDICATED TOWARD THIS GOAL. THIS PROPOSAL REQUESTS FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF BRINGING TOGETHER SCIENTISTS FROM ACROSS MANY DISCIPLINES TO DISCUSS THE LATEST RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF PLANET FORMATION IDENTIFY INNOVATIVE AVENUES OF EXPLORATION AND EXPOSE INVESTIGATORS TO NEW SUBJECT AREAS. AS AN INNOVATION THIS YEAR WE WILL HOLD A GRADUATE RESEARCH SEMINAR (GRS) DURING THE DAY AND A HALF BEFORE THE CONFERENCE AND A POWER HOUR DURING THE MAIN CONFERENCE. THE GRS IS STUDENT RUN AND WILL INCLUDE TALKS BY PEERS A KEYNOTE BY A SENIOR SPEAKER AND A SESSION ON EARLY CAREER ADVICE. THUS WE EXPECT TO HAVE A GREATER NUMBER OF EARLY CAREER PARTICIPANTS IN THIS YEARS MEETING WITH EXPANDED OPPORTUNITY FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE TRAINING OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF NASA SCIENTISTS.
