This proposal is awarded support for the first of five years of operation under a renewal of the NSF Cooperative Agreement, OCE-0612072, for operations of R/V Hugh R. Sharp. Ship awards will be renegotiated each year and is based on the number of days of ship time in support of NSF funded research program. The R/V Hugh R. Sharp is a state-of-the-art, coastal research vessel that is owned and operated by the University of Delaware. The vessel can carry fourteen to sixteen scientists on cruises up to eighteen days in duration and supports projects from all disciplines of oceanography. The vessel is a regional asset, serving researchers from many institutions throughout the United States. The vessel typically operates in the coastal waters from Long Island, New York, to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, as well as the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. Projects occasionally require the vessel to work as far north as the Gulf of Maine, as far south as Florida, and as far offshore as Bermuda. Operational funding for the R/V Hugh R. Sharp is provided primarily by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as well as other scientific users. In 2012, the R/V Hugh R. Sharp is scheduled for approximately 196 days at sea. Projects funded by the National Science Foundation account for approximately 46% of the total days. Intellectual Merit: The R/V Hugh R. Sharp provides direct field support to NSF funded science programs, the intellectual merit of these programs being determined by the peer review process within the National Science Foundation. In 2011, the National Science Foundation funded 55% of the ship days on the R/V Hugh R. Sharp. These cruises included 3 Delaware Bay projects and 3 Chesapeake Bay projects. Broader Impacts: The science projects supported by the R/V Hugh R. Sharp will directly improve scientific understanding of the marine environment, which may in turn improve the health and well being of people living in the mid-Atlantic and beyond. To provide exposure to this important role, the R/V Hugh R. Sharp is an integral part of the public outreach program at the College of Earth, Ocean and Environment. From 2009 through 2011, the R/V Hugh R. Sharp was a focal point on the waterfront during the annual Coast Day, an open house at the College which draws over ten thousand people. The ship has participated in the ?Teachers at Sea? program for three years during its NOAA Scallop cruises. This program allows educators an opportunity to work on a research vessel while assisting the science party by providing extra hands on deck. Many cruises have a scientific compliment made up of undergraduate and graduate students. The R/V Hugh R. Sharp and crew have been available for several tours of the ship by high school ROTC groups, science classes and middle school groups from the local community as well as from neighboring states.

根据NSF合作协议OCE-0612072的续签，该提案将为R/V Hugh R. Sharp的运营提供为期五年的支持。船舶奖励将每年重新协商，并基于支持NSF资助的研究计划的船舶时间的天数。R/V休·R·夏普号是一艘最先进的海岸研究船，由特拉华大学拥有和运营。这艘船可以搭载14到16名科学家进行长达18天的航行，并支持海洋学所有学科的项目。这艘船是一项区域性资产，为美国各地许多机构的研究人员提供服务。该船通常在从纽约长岛到北卡罗来纳州哈特拉斯角以及特拉华湾和切萨皮克湾的沿海水域作业。项目有时会要求该船北至缅因湾，南至佛罗里达，离岸远至百慕大。“休·R·夏普”号的运行资金主要由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）、美国海军研究办公室（ONR）、美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）以及其他科学用户提供。2012年，R/V休·R·夏普号计划在海上航行约196天。由国家科学基金会资助的项目约占总天数的46%。智力价值：R/V Hugh R. Sharp为NSF资助的科学项目提供直接的现场支持，这些项目的智力价值由国家科学基金会内部的同行评审过程决定。2011年，美国国家科学基金会资助了“休·R·夏普”号55%的航行日。这些巡航包括3个特拉华湾项目和3个切萨皮克湾项目。更广泛的影响：休·R·夏普号支持的科学项目将直接提高对海洋环境的科学认识，这可能反过来改善生活在大西洋中部及其他地区的人们的健康和福祉。为了让人们了解这一重要角色，休·R·夏普实验室是地球、海洋与环境学院公共宣传项目的一个组成部分。从2009年到2011年，在一年一度的海岸日期间，R/V Hugh R. Sharp是海滨的一个焦点，这是学院的一个开放参观日，吸引了超过一万人。该船参加了？海上教师？为期三年的NOAA扇贝巡航计划。这个项目让教育工作者有机会在研究船上工作，同时通过在甲板上提供额外的人手来协助科学小组。许多游轮都有由本科生和研究生组成的科学团队。R/V休·R·夏普号和船员们已经接受了来自当地社区和邻近州的高中后备军官训练团、科学班和中学团体的几次参观。
