NSF INSTRUMENTATION CY17 DEERING

本提案的主要影响是提案指南（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。 该方案建议对购买以下物品给予奖励： 1)网络服务器升级/更换$6，500 2)NI VB-8034（2个）$16，000 3)光纤培训、用品和测试仪$12，000 间接费用5，180美元 共计39 680美元

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. The Program recommends an award of for the purchase of the following: 1) Network Server Upgrade/Replacement $6,500 2) NI VB-8034 (2 ea) $16,000 3) Fiber Optic Training, Supplies and Tester $12,000 Indirect Costs $5,180 Total $39,680
