Requests are made by the University of Washington for Oceanographic Instrumentation (OI) on R/V Thompson, a 274-foot general purpose, global class research vessel, and R/V Rachael Carson, a newly outfitted 72-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF). In 2020, Thompson, in a COVID-shortened season, completed 202 funded days with 131 (65%) of them for NSF. For 2021, the vessel is scheduled for 277 total days with 224 (80%) days for NSF. Carson had 41 days in 2020 with 1 NSF day. For 2021, there are 71 days scheduled, 32 (45%) of which are for NSF.With this proposal, UW provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers (2) $14,058 -80C Chest Freezer $8,795 Niskin A (Thompson and Carson) $20,450 C-Nav 5000 Receiver $13,717 $57,020 Broader Impacts The 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.

华盛顿大学海洋仪器(OI)对R/V Thompson(274英尺通用全球级科考船)和R/V Rachel Carson(新装备72英尺沿海科考船)提出了请求，这两艘船都是作为美国学术研究舰队(ARF)的一部分运营的。2020年，在COVID缩短的赛季，汤普森完成了202天的资助，其中131天(65%)用于NSF。2021年，该船计划总共277天，其中224天(80%)用于NSF。卡森在2020年有41天，其中1天是NSF。2021年，计划的天数为71天，其中32天(45%)用于NSF。通过本提案，UW提供了购买以下海洋仪器的技术说明和理由：网络时间协议(NTP)服务器(2)14,058-80C胸部冷冻机$8,795 Niskin A(Thompson和Carson)$20,450 C-Nav 5000接收器$13,717$57,020更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南(NSF 13-589)的功绩审查标准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。
