This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Rhondale Tso is awarded an NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to conduct a program of research and activities related to broadening participation by groups underrepresented in STEM. This fellowship to Dr. Tso supports his research project entitled "MPS-Ascend: Probing Fundamental Physics with Next Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors", under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The host institution for the fellowship is the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. Nicolas Yunes.Tso aims to facilitate the era of precision tests of general relativity by (i) advancing models probing fundamental physics beyond GR to accurately constrain deviations from classical general relatively and (ii) developing theoretical models characterizing fundamental features of the dynamical formation of black holes that will also display key features of general relativity. Tso will prepare a translation document of LIGO outreach material to the Navajo language, similar to what has been accomplished with the Siksika (Blackfoot) language. Both languages are documented as endangered languages, thus the project will aid in preserving, sustaining, and revitalizing the language. Tso will be involved in outreach to underrepresented groups as well, in particular to Native American groups.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。 Rhondale TSO被授予NSF数学和物理科学，上升博士后研究奖学金，以开展与STEM中代表性不足的小组扩大参与有关的研究和活动计划。 在赞助科学家的指导下，与TSO博士的这一奖学金支持其题为“ MPS-ASCEND：使用下一代重力波探测器的基本物理学”的研究项目。团契的主持机构是伊利诺伊大学urbana-Champaign和赞助科学家的是尼古拉斯·尤尼斯（Nicolas Yunes）博士。一般相对论的关键特征。 TSO将为Navajo语言准备一份Ligo外展材料的翻译文档，类似于Siksika（Blackfoot）语言的成就。两种语言都被记录为濒危语言，因此该项目将有助于维护，维持和振兴语言。 TSO还将参与与代表性不足的群体的宣传，特别是美国原住民团体。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
