A request is made by the University of Washington to fund additional and replacement instrumentation for the R/V Thompson, a 274? general purpose, global class research vessel, and R/V Barnes, a 66-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet.These platforms provide facilities for conducting oceanographic research funded by the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies. The instrumentation they propose to acquire will provide operational flexibility to projects that are embarked upon both vessels and will increase their capacity to do useful science and data collection during transits between funded cruises. Thompson completed 275 days in 2015; 133 of these days (48%) were for NSF. On Barnes, 9 of the 50 days (18%) were for NSF. In 2016, Thompson is scheduled for 130 days and 49 (38%) are for NSF. The schedule is light for Thompson because she goes into the yard for a mid-life refit in June. Barnes is scheduled to sail 86 days in 2016, with 9 days (9%) funded by NSF. Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment requested in this proposal includes:R/V Atlantic Explorer DESH-5 Winch Refurbishment /Upgrade $582,050 Gyrocompass System $379,377 $961,427 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.

华盛顿大学要求为R/V汤普森号（A 274？通用的全球级研究船和R/V巴恩斯，一艘66英尺长的沿海研究船，都是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。这些平台为进行由国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构资助的海洋学研究提供设施。他们提议购买的仪器将为两艘船上的项目提供操作灵活性，并将提高他们在资助的巡航之间进行有用的科学和数据收集的能力。汤普森在2015年完成了275天;其中133天（48%）是NSF。在巴恩斯，50天中有9天（18%）是NSF。在2016年，汤普森计划为130天，49（38%）是为NSF。汤普森的日程安排很轻松，因为她将在六月进入院子进行中年改装。巴恩斯计划在2016年航行86天，其中9天（9%）由NSF资助。本建议书中要求的船上科学支持设备包括：R/V Atlantic Explorer DESH-5绞车翻新/升级582 050美元陀螺罗盘系统379 377美元 九十六万一千四百二十七元 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。
