Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment 2009

摘要2009年7月17日提案编号：0915249机构：俄勒冈州州立大学PI： P. ZerrThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009（Public Law 111-5）.The proposal requires many Shipboard Scientific Support（SSSE）items for the vessel operated by俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）;即R/V WECOMA. 这些请求特别包括过去NSF检查或巡航后评估（PCA）建议的项目，以及由于成本而被运营商推迟的项目。 所有要求的项目都将提高安全性，增强科学支持能力，或延长船舶使用寿命。 由于这些要求的性质和时间，SSSE计划通常要求的供应商报价标准被免除，其中许多数字是出于预算目的提供的估计数，主要基于船舶运营商过去类似工作的经验。 更广泛的影响： WECOMA号研究船支持联邦政府资助的太平洋科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的了解。 在作业期间，该船定期让研究生和本科生接触航海海洋学。 还通过从船舶到海岸的实时卫星连接和开放日活动，向公众宣传。 WECOMA计划在2009年完成超过120个NSF赞助日。

ABSTRACT 17 July 2009Proposal Number: 0915249Institution: Oregon State UniversityPI: P. ZerrThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The proposal requests numerous Shipboard Scientific Support (SSSE) items for the vessel operated by Oregon State University (OSU); namely the R/V WECOMA. The requests specifically include items that have been recommended from past NSF inspections, or Post-Cruise Assessments (PCA's) and have been otherwise deferred by the operators due to cost. All of the items requested will either improve safety, enhance science support capability, or extend vessel service life. Due to the nature and timing of these requests, the vendor quotation standards normally required by the SSSE Program were waived out of necessity with many of the figures provided as estimates for budgetary purposes and based mainly on past experience of the vessel operators for similar work. Broader Impacts: The R/V WECOMA supports federally funded scientific research in the Pacific in order to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Pubic outreach is also achieved through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, and open house events. The WECOMA is scheduled to complete over 120 NSF sponsored days in 2009.
