R2R Data Management Services for the Academic Fleet: 2020-2024

R2 R计划在2009 - 2014年的最初五年运营期间实现了其主要发展目标，并成功过渡到运营和管理阶段，并获得了2014 - 2019年的新五年资金。新的资金将使该数据管理服务能够持续运营和维护。未来五年的工作包括继续运行在资金开发阶段开发的核心基础设施，以及根据咨询委员会的反馈和用户的要求，为改进R2 R的产品和服务而选定的新增强和活动。更广泛的影响R2 R的好处将扩展到关键利益相关者，包括船舶运营商，研究科学家，数据管理研究人员，网络基础设施开发人员，资助机构和公众。R2 R将提供工具和反馈，帮助海洋技术人员提高数据质量和文档记录，并使他们无需维护本地数据档案。学术船队的中央巡航目录将确保每次巡航的原始实地数据得到定期保存和传播，改善科学家和公众的访问，并简化资助机构执行数据共享要求的努力。整个船队数据采集程序的标准化将促进与其他平台（如NSF的海洋观测站计划）的观测结果的整合，同时为广阔而稀少的全球海洋提供新的综合努力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

The Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program has achieved its primary developmental objectives during its initial five years of operation, 2009 - 2014, and successfully transitioned to an operation and management phase with renewed five-year funding, 2014 - 2019. Renewed funding will enable continued operations and maintenance of this data management service. Work in the next five years includes continued operation of core infrastructure developed in the developmental phase of funding, as well as selected new enhancements and activities designed to improve R2R's products and services in response to Advisory Committee feedback and user's requests.Broader ImpactsBenefits of R2R will extend to key stakeholders including vessel operators, research scientists, data management researchers, cyber-infrastructure developers, funding agencies, and the public. R2R will provide tools and feedback to help marine technicians improve data quality and documentation and will free them from the need to maintain a local data archive. A central cruise catalog for the academic fleet will ensure that original field data from every cruise are routinely preserved and disseminated, improving access for scientists and the public and simplifying funding agency efforts to enforce data sharing requirements. Standardization of data acquisition procedures across the fleet will facilitate integration with observations from other platforms such as NSF's Ocean Observatories Initiative, while enabling new synthesis efforts for a global ocean that is vast and sparsely explored.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.
