NSF INSTRUMENTATION CY17 DEERING

本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南(NSF 13-589)的功绩审查标准2。它为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享仪器，以支持他们由NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查)。共享仪器的获取、维护和操作使任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员都可以获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。本计划建议授予购买以下设备的奖励：1)网络服务器升级/更换$6,500 2)NI VB-8034(2 EA)$16,000 3)光纤培训、用品和测试仪$12,000间接成本$5,180总计$39,680

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
