Bermuda Institute of Ocean Science (BIOS) proposes to support technical services on R/V Atlantic Explorer, a general purpose, intermediate class research vessel operated by BIOS as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The proposal requests support for basic services. They will provide at least two shipboard technicians on most cruises of R/V Atlantic Explorer to support seagoing research projects and to maintain calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. In addition, they will utilize technicians via the technician exchange program and the UNOLS Tech Pool. The costs for the techs will be deducted from the award. The budget included with this proposal is for the first year of a 5-year continuing award. The out-years will be negotiated with the Program with the receipt of the annual report.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.

百慕大海洋科学研究所提议支持R/V Atlantic Explorer的技术服务，这是一艘通用中级研究船，由百慕大海洋科学研究所运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 该提案要求为基本服务提供支助。 它们将为“大西洋探索者”号R/V的大多数航行提供至少两名船上技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，并从它们共用的研究仪器库中维持、校准和向合格用户提供项目。 此外，他们将通过技术员交流方案和联合国后勤支助处技术人才库利用技术员。技术人员的费用将从奖金中扣除。本提案中所列预算用于连续5年授予的第一年。在收到年度报告后，将与该方案就未来年份进行谈判。 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。
