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

滚动甲板到储存库（R2R）项目在2009 - 2014年的最初5年运行期间实现了主要发展目标，并通过2014 - 2019年续签的5年资金成功过渡到运行和管理阶段。重新供资将使这项数据管理服务能够继续运作和维持。未来五年的工作包括继续运营在资金发展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，选定新的增强功能和活动，旨在改进R2R的产品和服务。更广泛的影响R2R的好处将扩展到主要利益相关者，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。R2R将提供工具和反馈，帮助海洋技术人员提高数据质量和文件记录，并将他们从维护本地数据档案的需要中解放出来。学术船队的中央巡航目录将确保定期保存和传播来自每次巡航的原始野外数据，改善科学家和公众的访问，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（如美国国家科学基金会的海洋观测计划）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。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

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.
