Scripps Institution of Oceanography - Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（SIO）申请船用科学支持设备（SSSE）的资金，用于开展nsf支持的科学研究。在大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）的合作框架内，拟议的设备将由SIO船舶操作部门维护，供需要这些海上设施的全国机构的nsf支持的科学家使用。该设备将用于RV Sally Ride，这是一艘建于2014年的238英尺的海军舰艇。根据该提案，SIO为以下SSSE的采购提供了技术描述和基本原理：1)为R/V Sally Ride更换前桅杆229,000美元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。

Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) requests funds for Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) that is needed to carry out NSF-supported scientific research. Working within the collaborative framework of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), the proposed equipment will be maintained by the SIO ship operations department for use by NSF-supported scientists from institutions nationwide who require these seagoing facilities. Equipment is requested for RV Sally Ride, a 238-foot, Navy-owned vessel built in 2014. With this proposal, SIO provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following SSSE: 1) Replacement Foremast for R/V Sally Ride $229,000 Broader 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.
