Sea Education Association (SEA) requests funding from the National Science Foundation to update existing oceanographic equipment in its sailing research vessel laboratories in order to continue training undergraduates in the marine sciences, and to further collection of data from under-sampled areas of the oceans for submission to national archives. The SSVs Corwith Cramer and Robert C. Seamans operate in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, respectively, supporting educational programs and oceanographic research. The equipment requested will be used by undergraduate students and collaborating scientists from colleges and research institutions throughout the country. All data generated will be freely shared with the entire oceanographic community via submission to the NSF Research Vessel data archive Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R). Although SEA vessels are not operated through the UNOLS umbrella, the organization has provided numerous examples of quality personnel both to the scientific and technical support communities. Financial support of their efforts is necessary to ensure this pipeline remains productive. This proposal requests fund for the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:Two (2) SBE CTD packages $44,747Two (2) LED epifluorescence packages $31,562Two (2) UV/VIS Spectrophotometers $11,422 $87,731Broader 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.

海洋教育协会（Sea）请求美国国家科学基金会提供资金，以更新其帆船研究船实验室现有的海洋设备，以便继续培训海洋科学方面的本科生，并进一步收集海洋取样不足地区的数据，以便提交国家档案馆。“科维斯·克莱默”号和“罗伯特·c·希曼斯”号分别在大西洋和太平洋执行任务，支持教育项目和海洋学研究。所要求的设备将由全国高校和研究机构的本科生和合作科学家使用。所有生成的数据将通过提交给NSF研究船数据档案（滚动甲板到存储库（R2R））与整个海洋学社区免费共享。虽然SEA船只不是在联索特派团的保护伞下操作的，但该组织向科学和技术支助界提供了许多高素质人员的例子。为确保这一渠道继续富有成效，必须为其努力提供财政支持。本提案要求为以下海洋仪器提供资金：两(2)SBE CTD包$44,747两(2)LED epifluorescence包$ 31,5662两(2)UV/VIS分光光度计$11,422 $87,731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国家科学基金会资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受国家科学基金会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资助的研究人员为他们的研究访问工作、校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。
