Oregon State University 2021 SSSE Proposal

船载科学保障设备（SSSE）被要求支持西海岸面包车池（WCVP）的作业。该池目前由15辆模块化实验车组成，它们都属于美国国家科学基金会或俄勒冈州立大学。这个水池由俄勒冈州立大学管理，便携式研究车被运往世界各地，以支持海上科学。Van Pool通过提供所需的额外专业便携式实验室空间和相关仪器，为美国国家科学基金会（NSF）支持的研究船上的科学操作和数据收集提供支持。本提案为以下设备寻求SSSE：西海岸Van Pool同位素便携式实验室的替换LSCs $78,700负载测试的水袋超载设备$18,332 $97,032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。

Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) is requested to support operations by the West Coast Van Pool (WCVP). The Pool currently consists of 15 modular laboratory vans that are all owned by either by NSF or Oregon State University. The pool is managed by Oregon State University and portable research vans are shipped all over the world in support of sea-going science. The Van Pool supports scientific operations and data collection aboard National Science Foundation (NSF) supported research vessels by supplying required additional specialized portable laboratory space and associated instrumentation. This proposal seeks SSSE for the following equipment:Replacement LSCs for West Coast Van Pool Isotope Portable Laboratory $78,700Water bag for load testing overboarding equipment $18,332 $97,032Broader Impacts The 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.
