Oregon State University 2021 SSSE Proposal

要求船上科学支持设备（SSSE）支持西海岸货车池（WCVP）的操作。该池目前由15个模块化实验室面包车，都是由美国国家科学基金会或俄勒冈州州立大学拥有。该游泳池由俄勒冈州州立大学管理，便携式研究车被运往世界各地，以支持航海科学。货车水池通过提供所需的额外专用便携式实验室空间和相关仪器，支持国家科学基金会（NSF）支持的研究船上的科学操作和数据收集。本提案寻求SSSE提供以下设备：西海岸货车游泳池同位素便携式实验室更换LSC 78，700美元负载测试船外设备用水袋18，332美元 $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NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查）。 共享使用仪器的获取、维护和操作允许来自美国任何大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作、校准的仪器进行研究，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.
