Abstract
We discuss how string theory, and in particular the "fuzzball" paradigm, has already made and can make meaningful contributions to the phenomenology of strong gravity observations. We outline pertinent research directions for the near-future within this program, and emphasize the unique viewpoints that string theory and fuzzballs bring to phenomenology.
