A request is made to fund Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment for the R/V Hugh R Sharp, a 146 foot Regional research vessel operated by the University of Delaware 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 2015, the R/V Hugh R Sharp completed 185 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 16% of the total sailing schedule (29 days). In 2016, R/V Hugh R Sharp is scheduled for174 days with NSF days accounting for 14% (24 days) of the total sailing schedule.Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment requested in this proposal includes:Mooring winch upgrade $228,180DGPS upgrades $27,776AIS upgrade $6,400 $262,356Broader 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提供船上科学支持设备，这是一艘由特拉华州大学运营的146英尺区域研究船，是大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。R/V Hugh R Sharp是一艘最先进的沿海研究船，由特拉华州大学拥有和运营。该船可搭载14至20名科学家进行长达18天的巡航，并支持所有海洋学学科的项目。该船是一项区域资产，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沃茨作业。项目偶尔需要该船工作远至北至缅因州湾，远至南至佛罗里达，远至百慕大近海。2015年，R/V Hugh R Sharp完成了185天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占总航行时间表（29天）的16%。2016年，R/V Hugh R Sharp计划航行174天，NSF天数占总航行计划的14%（24天）。本提案中要求的船上科学支持设备包括：系泊绞车升级228，180美元DGPS升级27，776美元AIS升级6，400美元262，356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Merit Review Criteria 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。
