A request is made to fund Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment on R/V Atlantic Explorer, a 168’ general purpose research vessel owned and operated by Bermuda Institute of Ocean Science (BIOS) as part of the United States Academic Research Fleet (ARF). BIOS is a U.S. 501 (c) 3 and 509 (a) not-for-profit research and educational institution incorporated in the state of New York, and geographically located on the Island of Bermuda. The mission of the ship is to support funded science research throughout the Central Atlantic but specifically work in support of the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series (BATS) program. RV Atlantic Explorer had 130 days funded, in the pandemic-shortened season in 2020, all of which were for NSF. In 2021, the vessel is scheduled to sail 206 days with 183 (89%) of them funded by NSF. With this proposal, BIOS provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Equipment:Hawboldt Standard Winch 42 Series $537,696Nine Drager SCBA packs and Viking firefighting outfits $77,496Three RCP-90X programmable controllers $21,082 $636,274Broader 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.

已请求为R/V Atlantic Explorer上的船上科学支助设备提供资金，这是一艘168英尺的通用研究船，由百慕大海洋科学研究所拥有和经营，是美国学术研究船队的一部分。 BIOS是美国501（c）3和509（a）非营利研究和教育机构，在纽约州注册成立，地理位置位于百慕大岛。该船的使命是支持整个中大西洋的资助科学研究，但具体工作是支持百慕大大西洋时间序列（BATS）计划。RV Atlantic Explorer在2020年流行病缩短的季节获得了130天的资助，所有这些都是NSF的。到2021年，该船计划航行206天，其中183天（89%）由NSF资助。在此建议书中，BIOS提供了技术说明和购买以下设备的理由：Hawboldt标准绞车42系列537，696美元九个Drager SCBA包和维京海盗消防装备77，496美元三个RCP-90 X可编程控制器21，082美元 $636，274更广泛的影响 本提案的主要影响是提案指南（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。
