A multi-disciplinary program in gravitational wave (GW) science that integrates cutting-edge research with education at various levels will be established at the Washington State University (WSU). This is motivated largely by the onset of observational runs undertaken by five GW detectors around the world, including two of the three detectors of the NSF-funded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) located at Hanford, near WSU. Data analysis strategies for searching GW signals from a variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources with a network of detectors operating simultaneously will be formulated as part of this program. A multi-detector analysis is significant owing to the most powerful veto it levies against instrumental artifacts and the additional source properties it unravels. Gravitational-wave science oriented courses and lab experiments will be included to enhance WSU's astronomy program and to develop the infrastructure required for a quick transfer of knowledge. Sophomores and seniors, numbering about 200 per year, will be trained to develop skills in a field that will soon be inundated with data, with the hope that some of them will go on to graduate programs strongly tied to GW research. Courses in GW science will be cross-listed towards a major in physics, thus expanding their impact. LIGO will be supported by this work in ushering in a new era in Physics and Astronomy where novel insights will be gained into the behavior of pulsars, supernovae and black holes, and in putting our best understanding of classical gravity, in the form of Einstein's general relativity, to a fresh set of stringent tests.

华盛顿州立大学（WSU）将建立一个重力浪潮（GW）科学领域的多学科计划，该计划将尖端研究与各个层面的教育融为一体。这主要是由于世界各地的五个GW探测器进行的观察性跑步发作，其中包括位于WSU附近Hanford的NSF资助的激光干涉仪重力仪（Ligo）的三个检测器中的两个。从各种天体物理和宇宙学来源搜索GW信号的数据分析策略将作为该计划的一部分制定，以同时运行的探测器网络。由于它对仪器伪像及其解散的其他源属性提出的最强大的否决权，多探测器分析具有重要意义。将包括以引力波科学为导向的课程和实验实验，以增强WSU的天文学计划，并开发快速转移知识所需的基础设施。大二学生和年长者每年大约有200个，将接受培训，以在很快被数据淹没的领域发展技能，希望其中一些人将继续与GW研究密切相关的研究生课程。 GW Science的课程将被列入物理专业的专业，从而扩大了其影响。这项工作将支持Ligo的支持，以迎来一个新的物理和天文学时代，在该时代，新颖的见解将获得脉冲星，超新星和黑洞的行为，并以爱因斯坦的一般相对论的形式使我们对古典引力的最佳理解，以进行一系列新鲜的严格测试。
