Ship Operations - R/V SALLY RIDE Cy 17

斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（SIO）提议在2017年运营研究船Sally Ride来支持nsf资助的科学研究。作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）合作框架内的大型共享设施，SallyRide将接待来自美国各地的科学家，并开展各种学科的研究。该船将以一种提高效率、能力和安全性的方式运行，以最大限度地提高NSF在这一共享设施上的投资，并在船上进行项目。我们的方法的一个关键要素是让船只、船员和技术人员在短暂的港口期间快速适应不同的科学任务，包括大量的装卸、实验室重新配置和项目特定甲板设备的安装。考察海洋学的工作节奏要求我们在船舶维护、法规遵守、外国许可、船员和与科学家合作等方面有一个精心规划但灵活的方法，我们将执行这些方法，以便项目能够顺利按计划完成。第二部分：智力价值：观察、测量和收集样本和数据是在全球范围内由莎莉莱德号上的操作完成的。自1907年以来，sio运营的船只在探索我们的星球方面发挥了关键作用，并继续为美国的海洋研究工作做出重大贡献。这里提出的海上作业能够在人类福祉所依赖的自然环境中进行物理和生物过程的变革性科学研究。这一建议的智力价值被船上科学家所进行的研究项目的综合价值放大了。2017年，莎莉·莱德号将在东太平洋支持四次由美国国家科学基金会赞助的研究巡航，进行海洋生态学、海洋化学、海洋观测和物理海洋学方面的研究。国家自然科学基金资助的研究（包括海洋观测倡议研究）将占sally Ride今年工作的19%（39天）。其余的工作将由海军（110天，55%）、国家海洋和大气管理局（26天，13%）和斯克里普斯海洋研究所（27天，13%）提供支持。每个程序都有自己独特的智力价值。更广泛的影响：拟议的工作构成了对共享使用的研究和教育基础设施的强协作、多学科和多机构使用。作为UNOLS的特许成员，SIO积极参与与科学家和资助机构协调研究船的操作，以便船上的能力能够最好地满足整个社区当前和预期的研究需求。SIO运营Sally Ride的研究项目范围通过基础设施的运营和维护实现了深远而广泛的影响，这些基础设施对促进培训和学习至关重要，增加了代表性不足群体对研究的参与，促进了科学和技术的理解，并为政策制定提供了信息。SIO提议的Sally Ride的运作使机构计划能够直接推进NSF的使命，即促进科学，工程和教育的成就和进步，以造福国家。在截至2016年的五年期间，1026名研究生、448名本科生、131名K-12和大学教育工作者乘坐SIO科考船获得了海上第一手经验。SallyRide是SIO加州大学船舶基金计划的一部分，该计划使研究生和本科生、博士后研究人员和早期职业教师能够通过内部同行评审的竞争过程在海上进行独立研究和指导。这艘船也是SIO的K-12教育计划的一部分，该计划将课堂教学、动手实践经验和船上远程呈现结合起来，按照国家科学标准向经济条件差的七年级到八年级的学生教授物理科学。作为nsf支持的科学家的共享资源，Sally Ride同样为这些科学家及其所在机构的教育、培训和推广做出了贡献。

Part 1: Boarder ImpactsScripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) proposes to operate the research vessel Sally Ride to supportNSF-funded scientific research in the year 2017. As a large shared-use facility scheduled within thecollaborative framework of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), SallyRide will host scientists from across the United States and undertake research in a variety of disciplines.The ship will be operated in a manner that promotes efficiency, capability, and safety in order tomaximize NSF's investment in this shared-use facility, and the programs that are conducted on board. Akey element of our approach is preparing the vessel, crew and technicians to rapidly accommodateradically different scientific missions during brief in-port periods, involving extensive loading,offloading, laboratory reconfiguration, and installation of project-specific deck equipment. The operatingtempo of expeditionary oceanography requires a carefully planned yet flexible approach to vesselmaintenance, regulatory compliance, foreign clearance, crewing and working with scientists, which wewill execute so that projects can be completed successfully and on schedule.Part 2: Intellectual Merit:The observation, measurement, and collection of samples and data are accomplished on a global scale byoperations aboard Sally Ride. SIO-operated ships have played a critical role in the exploration of ourplanet since 1907, and continue to contribute significantly to the U.S. ocean research effort. The seagoingoperations proposed here enable transformative scientific research in physical and biological processes inthe natural environment upon which human well-being depends. The intellectual merit of this proposal isamplified by the combined merit of research projects undertaken by scientists on board. During 2017,Sally Ride will support four NSF-sponsored research cruises in the eastern Pacific Ocean to conductresearch in marine ecology, marine chemistry, ocean observing, and physical oceanography. NSFsponsoredresearch (including Ocean Observing Initiative research) will account for 19% (39 days) ofSally Ride's work this year. The remainder of the work will be supported by the Navy (110 days, 55%),the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (26 days, 13%), and the Scripps Institution ofOceanography (27 days, 13%). Each program contributes its own distinct intellectual merit.Broader Impacts:The proposed work constitutes strongly collaborative, multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional use ofshared-use research and education infrastructure. As a charter member of UNOLS, SIO is activelyinvolved in coordinating research vessel operations with scientists and funding agencies so shipboardcapabilities can best meet the current and anticipated research needs of the entire community. Thespectrum of research projects enabled by SIO's operation of Sally Ride achieves far-reaching broaderimpacts through the operation and maintenance of infrastructure that is critical to the promotion oftraining and learning, increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in research, advancingscientific and technological understanding and informing policy making.SIO's proposed operation of Sally Ride enables institutional programs to directly advance NSF'smission to promote achievement and progress in science, engineering and education for the benefit of thenation. In the five-year period ending in 2016, 1,026 graduate students, 448 undergraduate students, and131 K-12 and college educators obtained first-hand experience at sea aboard SIO research vessels. SallyRide is part of SIO's UC Ship Funds Program, which enables graduate and undergraduate students,postdoctoral researchers and early career faculty to pursue independent research and instruction at sea viaan internal peer-reviewed competitive process. The vessel is also integral to SIO's K-12 educationprogram In the Footsteps of Sally Ride, which integrates classroom instruction, hands-on practicalexperience, and shipboard telepresence to teach physical science to economically disadvantaged seventhandeighth-grade students in coherence with national science standards. As a shared-use resource forNSF-supported scientists, Sally Ride similarly contributes to the education, training and outreachmissions of those scientists and their home institutions.
