A request is made to fund new and replacement instrumentation on the R/V Endeavor, a 185? general purpose research vessel operated by the University of Rhode Island as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet.The R/V Endeavor is a well-equipped, intermediate sized research vessel that is owned by NSF and operated under a Charter Party Agreement by the University of Rhode Island. The vessel was built in 1976 and refit in 1993 and can carry up to 17 scientists on cruises up to 30 days in duration. The vessel supports projects from all disciplines of oceanography. In 2015, R/V Endurance completed 251 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 73 days or 29% of the total sailing schedule. In 2016, R/V Endeavor is scheduled for 197 days with NSF days accounting for 45% (89 days) of the total sailing schedule.Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) requested in this proposal includes Viking Life Rafts $19,482Imperial Immersion Suits $11,650 $31,132Broader 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.

要求为R/V奋进号（185？由罗得岛大学运营的通用研究船，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奋进是一艘装备精良的中型研究船，由NSF拥有，并根据租船协议由罗得岛大学运营。该船于1976年建造，1993年改装，最多可搭载17名科学家进行长达30天的巡航。该船支持海洋学所有学科的项目。 2015年，R/V Endurance完成了251天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占73天或总航行时间表的29%。2016年奋进号R/V计划航行197天，NSF天数占总航行计划的45%（89天），本建议书要求的船上科学支持设备（SSSE）包括维京海盗救生筏 $19，482帝国潜水服$11，650 31，132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。
