2017 Oeanographic Instrumentation R/V Atlantic Exploer

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)。共享仪器的购买、维护和操作允许美国国家科学基金会资助的任何大学或实验室的研究人员使用工作的、校准的仪器进行研究，降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。该计划建议为购买以下设备提供113,098美元的奖励：备用CTD甲板单元$8,590 OpenVDM数据管理系统$10,098液氮发生器系统$37,643升级正在进行的科学海水系统$48,059升级测试和故障排除设备$8,708$113,098

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 $113,098 for the purchase of the following: Spare CTD Deck Unit $8,590OpenVDM Data Management System $10,098Liquid Nitrogen Generator System $37,643Upgrade Underway Scientific Seawater System $48,059Upgrade Test and Troubleshooting Equipment $8,708 $113,098
