A request is made to fund new and replacement instrumentation on the R/V Oceanus, a 177? research vessel operated by Oregon State University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet.The R/V Oceanus is a general-purpose research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by Oregon State University. Until 2012, the vessel had been operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution but was then retired. OSU determined that the vessel was in better material condition than their ship R/V Wecoma so they took Oceanus and retired Wecoma. The mission of the ship is to support funded science research in the Pacific Northwest. R/V Oceanus completed 189 days in 2014, 161 (85%) of which were for NSF. In 2015, the vessel is scheduled to sail 223 days with 47% (105 days) of the schedule for NSF. With this proposal, OSU provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:Minus 80 Freezer $6,062 24 Bottle CTD Frame Upgrade $87,043 Spare Fluorometer $5,370 CTD Spares Refresh $11,792 Spare Oxygen Sensor $5,238 Broader ImpactsThe 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 Oceanus（177？由俄勒冈州州立大学运营的研究船，作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。R/V Oceanus是国家科学基金会拥有的通用研究船，由俄勒冈州州立大学运营。直到2012年，该船一直由伍兹霍尔海洋研究所运营，但随后退役。俄勒冈州立大学确定，该船是在更好的物质条件比他们的船R/V韦科马，所以他们采取了海洋和退休韦科马。该船的使命是支持太平洋西北部的资助科学研究。 R/V Oceanus在2014年完成了189天，其中161天（85%）是NSF。2015年，该船计划航行223天，占NSF计划的47%（105天）。 通过该提案，俄勒冈州立大学提供了技术说明和理由，用于收购以下海洋仪器：减去80冰柜6，062美元24瓶CTD框架升级87，043美元备用荧光计5，370美元CTD备件更新11，792美元备用氧传感器5，238美元 更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南（NSF 13-589）的优点审查标准2。它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来支持他们的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）。 共享使用仪器的获取、维护和操作允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作、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。
