University of Alaska Fairbanks/Sikuliaq SSSE

阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学（UAF）运营着R/V Sikuliaq，这是一艘261英尺的全球级冰能力海洋研究船，隶属于美国国家科学基金会（NSF），是UNOLS船队的一部分。锡库廖克为从极地到温带纬度的多学科研究任务提供了一个通用平台。该船于2014年交付，已经完成了三年的资助运营。UAF申请资金购买和安装船上的科学支持设备，这些设备将被定制，以增强船只的能力，以支持未来在Sikuliaq进行的nsf资助的研究。2017年，R/V Sikuliaq完成了271天，其中178天（66%）用于NSF。2018年，该船计划航行249天，其中63%（157天）用于NSF。根据该提案，UAF提供了以下舰载科学支持设备的技术描述和基本原理：钢丝绳绞车能力$39,516重新设计lebus外壳$20,000重新设计存储桶$124,210测功机$5,985 $189,711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国家科学基金会资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受国家科学基金会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任何美国大学或实验室的nsf资助的研究人员为他们的研究访问工作、校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) operates R/V Sikuliaq, a 261-foot, global class ice-capable, oceanographic research vessel owned by the NSF as part of the UNOLS fleet. Sikuliaq provides a general-purpose platform for multidisciplinary research missions from polar to temperate latitudes. The ship was delivered in 2014 and has completed three years of funded operations. UAF requests funds to purchase and install shipboard scientific support equipment that would be custom engineered to enhance the vessel's capability in support of NSF-sponsored research to be undertaken on Sikuliaq in the future.In 2017, R/V Sikuliaq completed 271 days, 178 (66%) of which were for NSF. In 2018, the vessel is scheduled to sail 249 days with 63% (157 days) of the schedule for NSF. With this proposal, UAF provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment:Underwire winch capability $39,516 Re-engineering lebus shell $20,000 Re-engineering storage drum $124,210 Dynamometer $5,985 $189,711 Broader ImpactsThe 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.
