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，以显著增加参与引力波天体物理学的代表不足的群体的学生数量。引力波将成为探测最猛烈的天体物理事件的有力新工具。在NSF“天文学和天体物理学研究与教育合作”(PAARE)计划的支持下，该团队将显著推进浮尔顿校区的本科教育和研究，并扩大锡拉丘兹大学物理和天文学研究生教育的多样性。更广泛地说，这一合作关系将显著增加全国范围内拉美裔和拉丁裔天文学和物理学博士生的数量。CSUF是一家主要面向本科生和教学的拉美裔服务机构，而南加州大学是一所授予博士学位的大学，在引力波天体物理学方面拥有强大的研究项目。他们将为CSUF学生进入苏州大学的博士项目开辟一条明确的途径，包括在他们过渡期间提供经济和学术支持。这将使CSUF引力波研究小组送往博士项目的学生数量翻一番。

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.
