Kilo Moana is a 186-foot, general-purpose research vessel built in 2002 and operated by the University of Hawaii under a charter party agreement with the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The vessel is part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF) and is supported by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Ship time is made available to academic researchers funded by the NSF, ONR, NOAA, NASA, and other federal and state agencies. The University of Hawaii requests funds for purchase of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:Reverse Osmosis/ Ultrapure Scientific Water System $23,576 OTDR/Copper Network Tester $19,746 Overboard Handling System (OHS) Proof Load Test Kit $18,557 Hydrostatic Wire Cutter (2) $6,000 (not funded)Funded total $61,879 Broader 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.

基洛莫阿纳是一艘186英尺长的通用研究船，建于2002年，由夏威夷大学根据与海军研究办公室（ONR）的租船协议运营。该船是美国学术研究船队（ARF）的一部分，并得到大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）的支持。由NSF、ONR、NOAA、NASA和其他联邦和州机构资助的学术研究人员可以使用船舶时间。夏威夷大学申请资金用于购买以下海洋学仪器：反渗透/超纯科学水系统23 576美元OTDR/铜网络测试仪19 746美元船外处理系统（OHS）验证载荷测试套件18 557美元液压剪线器（2）6 000美元（未获得资金）资金总额61 879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。
