Oregon State University 2021 SSSE Proposal

舰载科学支持设备(SSSE)被要求支持西海岸VAN Pool(WCVP)的行动。该池目前由15辆模块化实验室面包车组成，这些面包车都属于NSF或俄勒冈州立大学。该泳池由俄勒冈州立大学管理，便携式研究车运往世界各地，以支持海洋科学。Van Pool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)支持的考察船上的科学作业和数据收集。本提案寻求为以下设备寻求SSSE：替换西海岸Van Pool同位素便携式实验室的LSC$78,700用于负载测试过载设备的水袋$18,332$97,032布罗德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。

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.
