A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation for the R/V Hugh R Sharp, a 146 foot Regional research vessel operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. 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 twenty 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 mid-Atlantic. 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. In 2014, the R/V Hugh R Sharp completed 193 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 25% of the total sailing schedule (49 days). In 2015, R/V Hugh R Sharp is scheduled for 200 days with NSF days accounting for 17% (354 days) of the total sailing schedule.Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment requested in this proposal includes:1) Gyro Compass $27,0002) Acoustic Speed Indicator $7,552 $34,552Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 13-589). It provides 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 acquisition, 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.

请求为 R/V Hugh R Sharp 提供额外和备用仪器资金，这是一艘 146 英尺长的区域研究船，作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统 (UNOLS) 研究船队的一部分运行。 R/V Hugh R Sharp 是一艘最先进的沿海研究船，由特拉华大学拥有和运营。该船可搭载 14 至 20 名科学家进行长达 18 天的巡航，并支持海洋学所有学科的项目。该船是一项区域性资产，为大西洋中部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州和切萨皮克湾的沿海水域运营。项目有时需要该船向北至缅因湾、向南至佛罗里达州以及远至百慕大群岛作业。 2014 年，R/V Hugh R Sharp 完成了 193 天的海上航行。 NSF资助的项目占总航行日程（49天）的25%。 2015 年，R/V Hugh R Sharp 计划航行 200 天，其中 NSF 天数占总航行计划的 17%（354 天）。本提案中要求的船上科学支持设备包括：1) 陀螺仪罗盘 $27,0002) 声学速度指示器 $7,552 $34,552 更广泛的影响 本提案的主要影响是根据《优秀评审标准 2》提案指南 （NSF 13-589）。它为科学家使用该船及其共享仪器提供基础设施支持，以支持其 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）。 共享仪器的采购、维护和操作使美国任何大学或实验室的 NSF 资助的研究人员都可以使用经过校准的工作仪器进行研究，从而降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。
