Scripps Institution of Oceanography - Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

请求为舰载科学支持设备(SSSE)提供资金，用于R/V Roger Revelle，273？通用全球船。这艘船由海军拥有，由斯克里普斯海洋研究所作为美国学术研究舰队(ARF)的一部分运营。这艘船支持世界各地的多学科海洋研究--S洋盆。2018年，Revelle完成了262天，其中181天(69%)用于NSF。2019年，Revelle目前计划使用86天，其中72天(84%)用于NSF。之所以只有这么几天，是因为Revelle计划一年中的大部分时间都在干船坞里经历中年改装。这里建议的大部分设备将在此期间安装。按优先顺序排列的SSSE请求包括：科学制冷机械$197,492对讲机和拨号电话$411,854公共广播系统$239,030宽喉滑轮$121,069减少甲板上的风扇噪音$143,109工作船舷外引擎$16,240$1,128,794布罗德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。

A request is made to fund Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) for R/V Roger Revelle, a 273? general purpose Global vessel. The ship is owned by Navy and operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF). The ship supports multidisciplinary oceanographic research in all the world?s ocean basins. In 2018, REVELLE completed 262 days, 181 (69%) of which were for NSF. In 2019, Revelle is currently scheduled with 86 days, 72 (84%) of which are for NSF. The reason there are so few days is that Revelle plans to spend most of the year in drydock undergoing a mid-life refit. Much of the equipment proposed here would be installed during this period.The prioritized SSSE request includes the following:Science refrigeration machinery $197,492Intercom & dial telephone $411,854Public address system $239,030Wide throat sheaves $121,069Reduce fan noise on deck $143,109Work boat outboard engines $16,240 $1,128,794Broader 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.
