This National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences award for the "WOU-MMA: BRIDGE, THE NEXT GENERATION: A POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN MULTI-MESSENGER ASTROPHYSICS" project provides $1,412,322 over 5 years starting on September 1, 2023. The project, part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will establish a postdoctoral fellowship program at Fisk University to train future leaders in the emerging field of multi-messenger astrophysics. The program will involve research, education, and individualized mentoring to build capacity and institutionalize astronomy at Fisk. Key focus areas include black hole theory, simulations, and observations. The project intends to create new astronomy course offerings and foster collaborations between domain experts at Fisk and Vanderbilt University, which is the prime awardee for this grant.
