The CSUF-Syracuse partnership for inclusion of underrepresented groups in gravitational-wave astronomy

加州州立大学富勒顿（CSUF）和锡拉丘兹大学（SU）将扩大他们的合作伙伴关系，以显着增加学生人数从代表性不足的群体参与引力波天体物理学。引力波将成为探测最剧烈的天体物理事件的一种强有力的新工具。 在NSF的“天文学和天体物理学研究与教育伙伴关系”（PAARE）计划的支持下，该团队将显著推进富勒顿校园的本科教育和研究，并扩大锡拉丘兹大学物理学和天文学研究生教育的多样性。更广泛地说，这种伙伴关系将大大增加西班牙裔和拉丁裔天文学和物理学博士的数量。CSUF是一个主要的本科和教学为重点的西班牙裔服务机构，而SU是一个博士学位-授予大学在引力波天体物理学方面的强大研究计划。他们将为CSUF学生进入博士学位制定明确的途径。计划在SU，包括财政和学术支持，因为他们过渡。这将使CSUF引力波研究小组送去攻读博士学位的学生人数增加一倍。程序.

California State University Fullerton (CSUF) and Syracuse University (SU) will expand their partnership to significantly increase the number of students from underrepresented groups participating in gravitational-wave astrophysics. Gravitational waves will be a powerful new tool for probing the most violent astrophysical events. With support from NSF's "Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education" (PAARE) program, the team will significantly advance undergraduate education and research on the Fullerton campus and expand the diversity in physics and astronomy graduate education at Syracuse University. More broadly, this partnership will significantly increase the number of Hispanic and Latino astronomy and physics Ph.D. students nationally.CSUF is a primarily undergraduate and teaching-focused Hispanic Serving Institution, while SU is a Ph.D.-granting university with a strong research program in gravitational-wave astrophysics. They will develop a clear pathway for CSUF students to enter the Ph.D. program at SU, including financial and academic support as they transition. This will double the number of students CSUF's gravitational-wave research group sends to Ph.D. programs.
