A request is made to fund Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) on R/V Atlantis, a 274’ general purpose research vessel, and R/V Armstrong, a 238’ multidisciplinary vessel. Both are operated by WHOI as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet (ARF) which is scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Both are owned by the U.S. Navy, have state-of-the-art instrumentation and support all disciplines of oceanographic research. The vessels work in all the world’s oceans supporting science funded primarily by U.S government agencies. R/V Atlantis is specifically outfitted for launching and servicing Alvin, the human occupied submersible as well as other vehicles of the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF). In 2020, R/V Atlantis completed 74 days at sea in a season shortened dramatically by the COVID pandemic. NSF funded projects accounted for 95% of the total sailing schedule (70 days). In 2021, Atlantis is scheduled for 146 days with NSF accounting for 100 of those or 68%. R/V Armstrong sailed 178 total days in 2020 and 66 of these, 37%, were for NSF. Additionally, 61 days (34%) were for NSF-OOI. The vessel is scheduled for 217 days in 2021, 9% of which (19 days) are for NSF and 37% (81 days) are for NSF OOI.With this proposal, WHOI provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following SSSE:1) Laboratory Infrastructure (Benches, Seating, Cabinets, etc.) $149,2612) ALVIN LARS Gimbal Frame $88,8743) KVM System $54,9084) IP Video Matrix System $110,4305) (2) -20ºC Cospolich Laboratory Refrigerator-Freezers $13,6096) (3) General Use Laboratory Computers $16,1947) Graco Husky Pump for Underway Seawater System $11,9928) (2) Lithium Battery Containment Units $8,792 $454,060Broader 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.

请求为R/V Atlantis（274'通用研究船）和R/V Armstrong（238'多学科船）上的船上科学支持设备（SSSE）提供资金。两者都由WHOI作为美国学术研究舰队（ARF）的一部分运营，该舰队由大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）计划。两者都属于美国海军，拥有最先进的仪器，并支持海洋学研究的所有学科。 这些船只在世界上所有的海洋工作，支持主要由美国政府机构资助的科学。R/V Atlantis专门用于发射和维修Alvin，载人潜水器以及国家深潜设施（NDSF）的其他车辆。于二零二零年，“亚特兰蒂斯”号邮轮完成了74天的海上航行，而新冠肺炎疫情令整个航季大幅缩短。NSF资助的项目占总航行时间表（70天）的95%。到2021年，亚特兰蒂斯号计划运行146天，其中NSF占100天，占68%。 R/V Armstrong于二零二零年共航行178天，其中66天（37%）为NSF服务。此外，61天（34%）为NSF-OOI。该船计划在2021年使用217天，其中9%（19天）用于NSF，37%（81天）用于NSF OOI。通过此提案，WHOI提供了技术说明和购买以下SSSE的理由：1）实验室基础设施（工作台，座椅，驾驶室等）$149，2612）ALVIN LARS万向节框架$88，8743）KVM系统$54，9084）IP视频矩阵系统$110，4305）（2）-20播放C Cospolich实验室冰箱-冷冻机$13，6096）（3）通用实验室计算机$16，1947）Graco Husky水下海水系统泵$11，9928）（2）锂电池密封装置$8，792 454，060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。
