Sea Education Association (SEA) requests National Science Foundation funding to support annual manufacturer calibration of existing oceanographic instrumentation on its two sailing research vessels, the SSV Corwith Cramer and SSV Robert C. Seamans. These vessels operate in the Atlantic and Pacific, respectively, providing academically rigorous training for students in the marine sciences. NSF funding support for instrument calibration is crucial to allow high-quality oceanographic datasets to be collected and analyzed by undergraduates enrolled in our SEA Semester academic programs and by collaborating scientists from colleges and research institutions throughout the country. All data generated will be freely shared with the entire oceanographic community via submission to the appropriate long-term data archives through the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program.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.

海洋教育协会（SEA）要求国家科学基金会提供资金，以支持其两艘帆船研究船SSV Corwith Cramer和SSV Robert C.是的这些船只分别在大西洋和太平洋作业，为海洋科学学生提供严格的学术培训。NSF对仪器校准的资金支持对于让参加我们SEA学期学术课程的本科生以及来自全国各地的学院和研究机构的合作科学家收集和分析高质量的海洋学数据集至关重要。所有生成的数据将通过提交到适当的长期数据档案库通过滚动甲板到存储库（R2 R）program.Broader ImpactsThe本提案的主要影响是根据优点审查标准2的建议准则（NSF 13-589）与整个海洋学界免费共享。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。
