EAGER: Advancing the future of U.S. seagoing oceanographic research through a Chief Scientist training cruise

海洋学的研究需要航海研究来收集资料和进行海上实验.然而，对于第一次参加大型研究巡航的研究人员来说，特别是涉及外国沃茨（EEZ）工作的研究人员，其规划、组织、后勤和文书工作可能令人望而生畏。此外，海上研究涉及大量额外的赠款费用归因于船舶的运作。因此，从2011年开始，大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）开始了一项首席科学家培训巡航计划，以向未来的早期职业科学家介绍规划，获取，有效利用和报告海上多学科研究和教育的时间。到目前为止，已经成功地进行了5次首席科学家培训巡航，第六次巡航将集中在机器人平台上，计划于今年11月进行。该提案将资助在R/V托马斯G汤普森上进行的第六次首席科学家培训巡航培训巡航。这个训练计划是以已经成功的训练计划为蓝本的.这将是第一次使用全球级研究船进行的训练巡航，根据该提案，资金将用于在2016年进行一般的首席科学家训练巡航。训练巡航将遵循以前成功的模式，并为早期职业海洋科学家提供论坛，以学习如何规划，获取利用和报告海上研究，以进行多学科研究和教育。这次巡航将利用R/V T.G.Thompson，这将是联合国海洋法办事处之一的第一次首席科学家培训巡航。全球级研究船。因此，该船将能够容纳多达20名学员。除了对首席科学家的职责和责任的指导外，这次航行还将为新的研究人员提供机会，以测试可用于未来建议基础的引人注目的研究领域。鉴于联合国海洋法办事处船队中船只数量的减少和业务预算的紧缩，需要教导早期职业科学家如何有效和协作地使用我们有限的基础设施资源比以往任何时候都更加重要。

The study of oceanography requires seagoing research for collection ofdata and at sea experimentation. However, for first time researchers the planning, organizing,logistics and paper work involved in a major research cruise, especially one that involveswork in foreign waters (EEZs) can be daunting. Additionally, at sea research involves substantialadditional grant costs attributable to the ship operation. As a consequence, beginning in2011 the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) began a program of ChiefScientist training cruises to introduce prospective early career scientists to the processof planning, acquiring, effectively utilizing, and reporting on time at sea for multi-disciplinaryresearch and education. To date there have been 5 successful Chief Scientist training cruises,with a sixth cruise, focused on Robotic Platforms, scheduled to take place this November.This proposal would fund a sixth Chief Scientist Training Cruise training cruise to be conductedaboard the R/V Thomas G Thompson. The training program is modeled on the proven successfulone that have already occurred. This would be the first training cruise conducted using aGlobal Class research vessel,With this proposal funds will be used to conduct a general Chief Scientist Training Cruise in 2016.The training cruise will follow the proven model of previous successful ones and provide aforum for early career marine scientists to learn how to plan, acquire utilize and report on at searesearch for multidisciplinary research and education. The cruise will utilize the R/V T.G.Thompson, and it will be the first Chief Scientist training cruise on one of UNOLS? Global Classresearch vessels. As such, the ship will be able to accommodate up to 20 trainees. In addition toinstruction on duties and responsibilities of a Chief Scientist, the cruise will offer newinvestigators opportunities to test compelling research areas that could be used for the basis offuture proposals. Given the declining number of vessels in the UNOLS fleet and the tightoperations budget, the need to teach early career scientists how to use our limited infrastructureresources effectively and collaboratively is more important than ever.
