The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) operates R/V Sikuliaq, a 261-foot, global class ice-capable oceanographic research vessel owned by the NSF as part of the Academic Research Fleet (ARF) fleet. Sikuliaq provides a general-purpose platform for multidisciplinary research missions from polar to temperate latitudes. The ship was delivered in 2014 and has completed five years of funded operations. UAF requests funds to purchase and install Oceanographic Instrumentation that would be custom engineered to enhance the vessel's capability in support of NSF-sponsored research to be undertaken on Sikuliaq in the future.In 2019, Sikuliaq completed 274 days, 183 (68%) of which were for NSF. In 2020, the vessel is scheduled to sail 248 days with 163 days of the schedule for NSF. With this proposal, UAF provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:1) Ship-Side Software-Defined Data Center $317,800 2) Ship-Side Core Network Refresh $50,000 3) Ship-Side Access Layer Refresh $250,000 4) Ship-Side Backup Storage $31,000 5) Shore-Side Software-Defined Data Center $100,000 6) Ship-Side Wireless Refresh $82,500 7) Ship-Side Routing Refresh $7,500 $838,800 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.

阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校(UAF)运营着R/V Sikuliaq号，这是一艘261英尺长的全球级结冰海洋考察船，由NSF拥有，是学术研究舰队(ARF)的一部分。Sikuliaq为从极地到温带的多学科研究任务提供了一个通用平台。这艘船于2014年交付，已经完成了五年的资金运营。UAF要求资金购买和安装海洋仪器，这些仪器将进行定制设计，以增强船只的能力，以支持未来由NSF赞助的锡库利亚克上的研究。2019年，锡库利亚克完成了274天，其中183天(68%)用于NSF。2020年，该船计划航行248天，按国家科学基金会计划163天航行。根据这项建议，UAF为收购下列海洋仪器提供了技术说明和理由：1)船侧软件定义数据中心$317,800 2)船侧核心网络更新$50,000 3)船侧接入层更新$250,000 4)船侧备份存储$31,000 5)岸边软件定义数据中心$100,000 6)船侧无线更新$82,500 7)船侧路线更新$7,500$838,800更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据建议指南(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。
