University of Miami proposes to support technical services on R/V Walton Smith, a 96?, general purpose regional vessel operated and owned by the University of Miami?s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) as part of the US Academic Fleet. These vessels are scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). R/V Walton Smith conducts a substantial portion of her operations in the near shore waters of South Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, providing scientific information relevant to major environmental initiatives. As part of their basic operations they will provide one technician on each seagoing research project, and will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. The budget in this proposal is for the first year of a five-year continuing grant. Out years are provided as estimates and the awards will be negotiated upon receipt of the annual report.The Program received the proposal on 12/20/17. As required, the report provided information regarding 2017 operations as well as outlining plans and a proposed budget for 2018. Research vessels in the Academic Fleet provide support for researchers from a variety of federal and state agencies, as well as some private sponsors. All users (or the appropriate funding agencies) share support for basic technical services on the vessel equally, via a day-rate, with each paying a share of the costs based on fractional usage of the vessel. The rates are negotiated annually with the NSF Program Manager.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.

迈阿密大学提议支持R/V沃尔顿史密斯号的技术服务，这是一艘96英寸的通用支线船，由迈阿密大学S海洋和大气科学学院运营和拥有，作为美国学术舰队的一部分。这些船只由大学-国家海洋学实验室系统(UNLS)安排。沃尔顿·史密斯在南佛罗里达和墨西哥湾的近岸水域开展了相当大一部分业务，提供与重大环境倡议相关的科学信息。作为其基本业务的一部分，它们将为每个海洋研究项目配备一名技术人员，并将维护、校准和向合格用户提供其共用研究仪器池中的物品。该提案中的预算是为期五年的持续赠款的第一年。本方案于2017年12月20日收到该提案。按照要求，该报告提供了有关2017年业务活动的信息以及概述计划和2018年拟议预算。学术舰队中的研究船为来自各种联邦和州机构的研究人员以及一些私人赞助商提供支持。所有用户(或适当的供资机构)通过日间费率平等分担船舶基本技术服务的支助，每个用户根据船舶的部分使用量支付一定份额的费用。费率每年与NSF项目经理协商。BROADER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。
