This grant is for advancing experimental gravitational physics, focusing on fundamental questions about space, time, and gravitational attraction across scales. It supports research involving tests of fundamental laws like the inverse square law, Lorentz invariance, and the Equivalence Principle, alongside the direct detection of gravitational waves. A core purpose is to manage and support the Laser Interferometer Gravity Wave Observatory (LIGO), including instrument science, data analysis, and exploring astrophysical event connections. Additionally, the grant fosters community engagement through visitor programs, workshops, and research centers, involving scientists, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows to drive innovation in gravitational physics.

| Description: | The Gravitational Physics program supports research at the frontiers of science aimed towards answering questions about the nature of space and time, the gravitational attraction at atomically small and cosmological large distances and the use of gravitational waves to explore the universe.The Experimental Gravitational Physics program supports research that includes tests on the inverse distance square law of gravitational attraction, Lorentz invariance and Equivalence Principle as well as the direct detection of gravitational waves. This program oversees the management of the construction, commissioning, and operation of the Laser Interferometer Gravity Wave Observatory (LIGO), and provides support for LIGO users and other experimental investigations in gravitational physics and related areas. This includes tasks that range from instrument science, data analysis and detector characterization to source population calculations and the connection between the gravitational waves and the electromagnetic and neutrino signatures of astrophysical events.In addition, the program supports infrastructure activities such as short- and long-term visitor programs, workshops, and research centers involving the participation of external scientists from universities, national laboratories, and industry, as well as graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. |
