UNOLS and RV Inspection Support

国际海洋学中心请求提供资金，继续为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统(海洋实验室系统)提供信息技术基础设施支助和维护现有的研究船船况和规格数据库(船况表)。特拉华大学S海洋学院海洋信息中心(海洋)是联合国最不发达国家办事处信息技术基础设施、网络服务器、邮件服务器、文件储存库和后端关系数据库的中心。更广泛的影响：联合国最不发达国家办事处的船队为我国正在进行的研究海洋覆盖的地球的八分之七的努力服务已进入第四个十年。在预算紧张和稀缺的联邦资源面临竞争压力的时代，这支舰队必须强调成本效益、效率和明智地使用纳税人的钱。我们的教育和科学使命必须向教育工作者、政策制定者和公众开放，而联索政治处信息技术基础设施的维护对这一使命有直接贡献。

The PI requests funding to continue to provide information technology infrastructure support and maintenance of an existing research vessel ship condition and specifications database (Ship Condition Form) for the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). The Ocean Information Center (OCEANIC) at the University of Delaware?s College of Marine Studies serves as a centralized location for the UNOLS information technology infrastructure, web server, mail servers, file repository and backend relational databases. Broader Impacts: The UNOLS fleet is well into its fourth decade of service to our nation's ongoing effort to study the seven eights of our planet that is covered by ocean. In a time of intense budgetary constraints and competing pressures on scarce federal resources, this fleet must stress cost-effectiveness, efficiency and wise utilization of the taxpayer's dollars. Our educational and scientific mission must be accessible to educators, policy makers and the public, and the maintenance of the UNOLS IT infrastructure directly contributes to this mission.
