A request is made to fund Oceanographic Instrumentation for the R/V Hugh R Sharp, a 146-foot regional research vessel operated by the University of Delaware as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF). Sharp is a state-of-the-art, coastal research vessel that is owned and operated by the University of Delaware. The vessel can carry fourteen to twenty scientists on cruises up to eighteen days in duration and supports projects from all disciplines of oceanography. The vessel is a regional asset, serving researchers from many institutions throughout the mid-Atlantic. The vessel typically operates in the coastal waters from Long Island, New York, to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, as well as the Delaware and Chesapeake Bay.Oceanographic Instrumentation funded in this proposal includes:CTD Capabilities Upgrade $23,770Broader 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.

请求为R/V Hugh R Sharp提供海洋学仪器，这是一艘由特拉华州大学运营的146英尺区域研究船，是美国学术研究舰队（ARF）的一部分。夏普是一个国家的最先进的，沿海研究船，是拥有和经营的特拉华州大学。该船可搭载14至20名科学家进行长达18天的巡航，并支持所有海洋学学科的项目。该船是一项区域资产，为大西洋中部许多机构的研究人员提供服务。该船通常在从纽约长岛到北卡罗来纳州哈特拉斯角以及特拉华州和切萨皮克湾的沿海沃茨作业。 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。
