University of Rhode Island proposes to support technical services on R/V Endeavor, a 184? general purpose research vessel operated as part of the Academic Research Fleet. The fleet is scheduled and supported by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). R/V Endeavor is a well-equipped, intermediate sized research vessel that is owned by NSF and operated under a Charter Party Agreement by the University of Rhode Island. The vessel was built in 1976 and refit in 1993. She can carry up to 17 scientists on cruises up to 30 days in duration. The vessel supports projects from all disciplines of oceanography.The proposal requests support for basic services and utilization of the Tech Pool. They will provide one shipboard technician on each cruise of R/V Endeavor to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. 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.

罗得岛大学建议支持R/V奋进号的技术服务，一个184？通用研究船作为学术研究舰队的一部分运营。该船队由大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）安排和支持。 R/V奋进号是一艘装备精良的中型研究船，由NSF拥有，并根据罗得岛大学的租船协议运营。该舰于1976年建造，1993年改装。它可以搭载多达17名科学家进行长达30天的巡航。该船支持海洋学所有学科的项目。该提案要求支持基本服务和技术库的使用。它们将为“奋进号”研究船的每次巡航提供一名船上技术员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护、校准和向合格用户提供共用研究仪器中的物品。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。
