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.

提出了要求在R/V Atlantic Explorer上为船上科学支持设备提供资金，这是一艘由百慕大海洋科学研究所（BIOS）拥有和运营的168'通用研究船，作为美国学术研究机队（ARF）的一部分。 BIOS是美国501（c）3和509（a）在纽约州建立的非营利性研究和教育机构，地理位置位于百慕大岛。该船的任务是支持整个中部大西洋的资助科学研究，但特别是为了支持百慕大大西洋时间系（BATS）计划。 RV Atlantic Explorer在2020年大流行季节的季节里有130天的资助，所有这些都是针对NSF的。 2021年，该船计划以206天的速度航行，其中183天（89％）由NSF资助。 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提案准则的标准2（NSF 19-602）。它为科学家提供了基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享用途的仪器来支持其NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（NSF相关研究计划单独进行了审查）。共享使用工具的获取，维护和操作允许NSF资助的任何美国大学或实验室访问工作，校准其研究的仪器，降低该研究的成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。本奖项奖反映了NSF的立法任务，并以基础知识的优点和广泛的评估来评估，并以评估的支持为CRACTIAS CRADIA，并被认为是宝贵的。
