Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) proposes to support technical services on R/V Pelican, a 116-foot, general purpose research vessel operated by the consortium as part of the Academic Fleet which is scheduled by the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). LUMCON requests support for basic services only; they will provide one technician on each seagoing research project. In addition, the technical services group 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 5-year continuing grant.The Program received the annual report on 2/1/2018. 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 ManagerBroader 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.

路易斯安那大学海洋联合会（LUMCON）建议支持R/V派力肯的技术服务，这是一艘116英尺长的通用研究船，由该联合会运营，作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）计划的学术船队的一部分。 LUMCON只要求提供基本服务方面的支助;他们将为每个海上研究项目提供一名技术人员。此外，技术服务组将维护、校准和向合格用户提供共用研究仪器库中的项目。本提案中的预算是5年持续资助的第一年。该计划于2018年2月1日收到年度报告。根据要求，该报告提供了有关2017年业务的信息，并概述了2018年的计划和拟议预算。 学术船队中的研究船为来自各种联邦和州机构以及一些私人赞助商的研究人员提供支持。所有用户（或适当的供资机构）通过日费率平等地分担对船舶基本技术服务的支持，每个用户根据船舶的部分使用情况支付一部分费用。费率每年与NSF项目经理进行协商 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。
