The Multi-Messenger Astronomy program led by Prof. Kelly Holley-Bockelmann has been awarded a $1.6M NSF grant in the PAARE program (Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education). This grant will support an innovative postdoc-to-faculty program in multimessenger astronomy that features professional development, wellness mentoring, and a focus on training in inclusive best practices. The postdoc fellows will be part of the leadership of the EMIT program ( Establishing Multimessenger Astronomy Inclusive Training), a partnership between Fisk and Vanderbilt Universities that aims to create a national nexus in multimessenger astronomy in Nashville and will have first consideration for several upcoming faculty positions at Fisk.
