Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) proposes to support technical services on R/V Pelican, a 116 foot, general purpose research vessel operated by the consortium as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. They request support for basic services only; they will provide one technician on each seagoing research project. In addition, the technical services group will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. The budget included with this report is for the first year of a 4-year continuing grant.In 2012, Pelican had no days for NSF. All other vessels in the Academic Fleet submitted proposals in 2012 for the first year of a 5-year continuing grant. For LUMCON, however, there was no award made in 2012. In order to keep all vessels on the same schedule with regards to the length of the technical services continuing grants, this award is proposed as the first year of a four-year continuing grant.The Program received the proposal on 1/18/2013. As required, the proposal provided information regarding 2012 operations as well as outlining plans and a proposed budget for 2013. Research vessels in the Academic Fleet provide support for researchers from a variety of federal and state agencies, as well as some private sponsors. All users (or the appropriate funding agencies) share support for basic technical services on the vessel equally, via a day-rate, with each paying a share of the costs based on fractional usage of the vessel. The rates are negotiated annually with the NSF Program Manager.Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two, providing infrastructure support for scientists to use the vessel and its shared-use instrumentation in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects (which individually undergo separate review by the relevant research program of NSF). The support of maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers.

路易斯安那大学海洋联合会（LUMCON）提议支持R/V派力肯的技术服务，这是一艘116英尺长的通用研究船，由该联合会运营，作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 他们只要求提供基本服务方面的支助;他们将为每个海上研究项目提供一名技术人员。此外，技术服务组将维护、校准和向合格用户提供共用研究仪器库中的项目。本报告中包含的预算是4年持续资助的第一年。2012年，派力肯没有为NSF工作的日子。2012年，学术船队的所有其他船只都提交了为期5年的连续赠款的第一年提案。然而，LUMCON在2012年没有获奖。为了使所有船舶在技术服务持续赠款的期限方面保持相同的时间表，该奖项被提议作为四年持续资助的第一年。该计划于2013年1月18日收到该提案。根据要求，提案提供了关于2012年业务的信息，并概述了2013年的计划和拟议预算。 学术船队中的研究船为来自各种联邦和州机构以及一些私人赞助商的研究人员提供支持。所有用户（或适当的供资机构）通过日费率平等地分担对船舶基本技术服务的支持，每个用户根据船舶的部分使用情况支付一部分费用。费率每年与NSF项目经理进行谈判。更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是在标准二下，为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享使用的仪器，以支持他们的NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查）。 对共享使用仪器的维护和操作的支持允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员访问工作，校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。
