Oregon State University/OCEANUS SSSE

“请求为R/V Ocean，一架177？由俄勒冈州立大学运营的科考船是大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分。R/V Ocean是一艘通用科考船，由国家科学基金会拥有，由俄勒冈州立大学运营。这艘船的任务是支持太平洋西北部的资助科学研究。2017年R/V Ocean完成215天，其中144天(67%)用于NSF。2018年，该船计划航行176天，完成NSF时间表的75%(132天)。在这份提案中，OSU提供了购买以下舰载科学支持设备的技术说明和理由：1)具有负载监测的积木$56,750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、维护和操作允许美国国家科学基金会资助的任何美国大学或实验室的研究人员获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

"A request is made to fund new instrumentation for the R/V Oceanus, a 177? research vessel operated by Oregon State University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet.The R/V Oceanus is a general-purpose research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by Oregon State University. The mission of the ship is to support funded science research in the Pacific Northwest. R/V Oceanus completed 215 days in 2017, 144 (67%) of which were for NSF. In 2018, the vessel is scheduled to sail 176 days with 75% (132 days) of the schedule for NSF. With this proposal, OSU provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment: 1) Blocks with Load Monitoring $56,750 Broader 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
