Oregon State University/OCEANUS SSSE

“有人请求为海洋号R/V的新仪器提供资金，这是一个177？由俄勒冈州州立大学运营的研究船，作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。R/V Oceanus是国家科学基金会拥有的通用研究船，由俄勒冈州州立大学运营。该船的使命是支持太平洋西北部的资助科学研究。 R/V Oceanus在2017年完成了215天，其中144天（67%）是NSF。2018年，该船计划航行176天，占NSF计划的75%（132天）。 在本提案中，俄勒冈州立大学提供了技术说明和采购以下船上科学支持设备的理由： 1)带负载监视的块 $56，750更广泛的影响 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美国任何大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作、校准的仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识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.
