The need to replace the currently used line-spoolers with actual certified winches has been a pressing need in the fleet for years. The line spoolers which are utilized throughout the fleet for mooring deployment and recovery efforts were never intended for use at sea, so it should come as no surprise these line spoolers haven?t proven themselves very sea-worthy. Line spoolers are portable winch-like machines designed for stringing and tensioning electric transmission lines on land. They are not compliant with both UNOLS RVSS Appendix B and 46 CFR. They are inexpensive, however, and have been supported through both the East and West Coast Winch Pools. The fleet urgently needs to begin replacing its line spoolers with mooring winches to meet safety standards and regulatory requirements, and to fully and reliably support field research projects carried out with moorings. A similar proposal was reviewed in panel from BIOS as they have begun to support increasing amounts of mooring work. The Program has decided to begin this transition to actual mooring winches over the next two years. A group purchase will be recommended to purchase five winches over two years. Although the WCWP proposal specified a "Markey" winch, after discussions with the institution, they are satisfied that all winches could be bought from the same manufacturer and that the volume discount will make them more affordable. The WCWP will be responsible for working with Hawboldt, the manufacturer, and BIOS, as well as the ECWP to spec the correct winch(s). The WCWP will take title to the equipment so if the vessel is retired or repurposed, the winches will return to the pool. All costs, including shipping, cables, commissioning, and attendance at the factory acceptance trials for the five winches are covered in this two-year award. Year one will constitute the down payment to beginning construction of the winches and the balance will be released in year two after an annual report documents that the work is complete.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.

多年来，用实际认证的绞车取代目前使用的卷线机一直是船队的迫切需求。整个船队用于系泊部署和回收工作的绕线器从来都不是为了在海上使用，所以这些绕线器避风港也就不足为奇了？证明自己不太适合航海。绕线机是一种类似绞盘的便携式机器，用于在陆地上架设和张紧输电线路。它们不符合UNOLS RVSS附录B和46 CFR。然而，它们价格低廉，并通过东海岸和西海岸的绞车获得支持。船队迫切需要开始用系泊绞车更换其卷线器，以满足安全标准和法规要求，并充分可靠地支持使用系泊设备进行的现场研究项目。 BIOS小组审查了一项类似的建议，因为他们已经开始支持越来越多的系泊工作。该计划已决定开始这种过渡到实际的系泊绞车在未来两年。建议在两年内团购五台绞车。虽然WCWP的提案指定了一个“Markey”绞车，但在与该机构讨论后，他们满意地认为，所有绞车都可以从同一制造商那里购买，而且批量折扣将使它们更实惠。WCWP将负责与Hawboldt、制造商和BIOS以及ECWP合作，以规范正确的绞车。WCWP将获得设备的所有权，因此如果船只退役或重新使用，绞车将返回游泳池。所有费用，包括运输，电缆，调试，并出席工厂验收试验的五个绞车是在这个为期两年的奖励。第一年将构成的首期付款开始建设的绞车和余额将被释放后，在第二年的年度报告文件，该工作是完整的。更广泛的影响，本建议的主要影响是根据优点审查标准2的建议指南（NSF 13-589）。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。
