A request is made to fund Oceanographic Instrumentation on R/V Atlantis, a 274-foot general purpose research vessel, and R/V Armstrong, a 238-foot multidisciplinary vessel. Both are operated by WHOI as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet (ARF) which is scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Both are owned by the U.S. Navy, have state-of-the-art instrumentation and support all disciplines of oceanographic research. The vessels work in all the world’s oceans supporting science funded primarily by U.S government agencies. R/V Atlantis is specifically outfitted for launching and servicing Alvin, the human occupied submersible as well as other vehicles of the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF). In 2019, R/V Atlantis completed 284 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 90% of the total sailing schedule (254 days). In 2020, Atlantis is scheduled for 138 days with NSF accounting for 72 of those or 52%. R/V Armstrong sailed 217 total days in 2019 and 43 of these, 20%, were for NSF. Additionally, 78 days (36%) were for NSF-OOI. The vessel is scheduled for 295 days in 2020, 25% of which (59 days) are for NSF and 33% (79 days) are for NSF OOI.With this proposal, WHOI provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Instrumentation:3) Hidex 300SL automatic LSC $128,175(3) McLane Submersible Bio Pumps $122,475(1) DAVPR Battery Case $6,406(2) EK80 portable calibration systems $5,992 $263,048Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 19-602). 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.

一项申请是为R/V亚特兰蒂斯号（一艘274英尺的通用研究船）和R/V阿姆斯特朗号（一艘238英尺的多学科研究船）上的海洋仪器提供资金。这两艘船都由WHOI运营，作为美国学术研究船队（ARF）的一部分，由大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）安排。这两艘船都归美国海军所有，拥有最先进的仪器，并支持所有学科的海洋学研究。这些船只在世界各地的海洋工作，支持主要由美国政府机构资助的科学研究。亚特兰蒂斯号是专门为发射和维修阿尔文号、载人潜水器以及国家深潜设施（NDSF）的其他车辆而装备的。2019年，亚特兰蒂斯号完成了284天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占总航行时间（254天）的90%。2020年，“亚特兰蒂斯”号计划停留138天，其中国家科学基金会占72天，占52%。R/V阿姆斯特朗在2019年总共航行了217天，其中43天（20%）是为美国国家科学基金会服务的。另外，78天（36%）用于NSF-OOI。该船计划在2020年使用295天，其中25%（59天）用于NSF， 33%（79天）用于NSF OOI。根据该提案，WHOI为以下仪器的采购提供了技术描述和基本原理：3)Hidex 300SL自动LSC $128,175(3) McLane潜水生物泵$122,475(1)DAVPR电池盒$6,406(2)EK80便携式校准系统$5,992 $263,048更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南（NSF 19-602）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使用的仪器来支持他们的国家科学基金会资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受国家科学基金会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任何美国大学或实验室的nsf资助的研究人员为他们的研究访问工作、校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。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。
