The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, on behalf of the University-National OceanographicLaboratory System (UNOLS), proposes to host the National Science Foundation Wire Pool and undertake the procurement of electro-mechanical oceanographic cables, torque-balanced wire, and synthetic rope to meet the needs of UNOLS ships for a five-year period beginning 15 April 2022.Currently, the Wire Pool maintains two storage locations to meet the needs of the fleet. One is located on the East Coast of the United States at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the other is on the West Coast at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography marine facility. In 1992 the procedure of allocating the delivery of all new procurements to either the East Coast or West Coast cable pool locations was initiated. The result is that all cables are allocated to UNOLS vessels from the nearest storage location as the need arises. This procedure will continue. The pool will remain under the control of the National Science Foundation. Further, on behalf of UNOLS, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution proposes to continue to provide coordination of the Wire Pool by overseeing the inspection, acceptance, maintenance, testing and associated recordkeeping of the cables and ropes.Broader 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.

伍兹霍尔海洋研究所代表大学-国家海洋实验室系统 (UNOLS) 提议主办国家科学基金会电线池，并承担机电海洋电缆、扭矩平衡电线和合成绳的采购，以满足 UNOLS 船舶自 2022 年 4 月 15 日起的五年期的需求。目前，电线池维持两个存储地点以满足船队的需求。一个位于美国东海岸的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所，另一个位于西海岸的斯克里普斯海洋研究所海洋设施。 1992 年，启动了将所有新采购的交付分配到东海岸或西海岸电缆池地点的程序。结果是，根据需要，所有电缆都会从最近的存储位置分配给 UNOLS 船只。该程序将继续进行。该池将继续由国家科学基金会控制。此外，伍兹霍尔海洋研究所代表 UNOLS 提议通过监督电缆和绳索的检查、验收、维护、测试和相关记录保存，继续对电线池进行协调。 更广泛的影响 本提案的主要影响符合提案指南 (NSF 19-602) 的优点审查标准 2。它为科学家使用该船及其共享仪器提供基础设施支持，以支持其 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）。 共享仪器的采购、维护和操作使 NSF 资助的任何美国大学或实验室的研究人员都可以使用工作、校准的仪器进行研究，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。
