Shipboard Technicians

该合同为伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）提供资金，用于研究船KNORR（279英尺的船）、ATLANTIS II（210英尺的船）和OCEANUS（177英尺的船）的船上技术活动。KNORR归海军所有，A-II归WHOI所有，OCEANUS归NSF所有。所有三艘船都由WHOI运营，以支持海洋学研究。NSF是这三艘船的主要用户。在1994日历年，KNORR将总共支持215天的NSF资助研究，而a - ii将支持253天的NSF资助研究。“大洋”号将在1994年进行中期改装，并将停放一整年。WHOI技术人员将负责在海上操作和修理仪器，在岸上维护仪器，并在巡航前后协助必要的科学操作。此外，NSF将为海上教育协会提供10,000美元的船上技术服务，并为罗德岛大学的SeaBeam技术人员提供37,085美元的分包合同。之所以需要分包合同，是因为URI将不再为需要SeaBeam的巡航提供海上技术服务。为了使WHOI人员得到适当培训以提供这些服务，国家科学基金会将在1994年期间支助一名WHOI技术人员和一名URI技术人员进行SeaBeam巡航。方案预计该分包合同将于1995年终止。该计划建议为这项赠款提供一个为期三年的奖励，其中第一年度预算为419,729美元，用于1994年期间由WHOI技术人员计划提供的船上技术服务。当1995年和1996年的船舶时间表最后确定时，将谈判这项奖励的第2和第3年的经费。

Proposal No. 94-02678 This award provides funding to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for shipboard technician activities associated with the research vessels KNORR, a 279-foot vessel, ATLANTIS II, a 210 foot vessel, and the OCEANUS, a 177 foot vessel. The KNORR is owned by the Navy, the A-II is owned by WHOI and the OCEANUS is owned by NSF. All three vessels are operated by WHOI in support of oceanographic research. NSF is the primary user of all three ships. In calendar year 1994, the KNORR will support a total of 215 days of NSF-funded research, and the A-II will support 253 days of NSF funded research. The OCEANUS will undergo a mid-life refit in 1994 and be laid-up for the entire year. WHOI technicians will be responsible for operating and repairing instruments while at sea, maintaining instruments ashore and assisting with scientific operations as necessary before and after cruises. In addition, NSF will support $10,000 for shipboard technical services supplied to the Sea Education Association and $37,085 for a subcontract with the SeaBeam technicians at the University of Rhode Island. The subcontract is required because URI will no longer support seagoing technical services for cruises that require SeaBeam. In order for WHOI personnel to be properly trained to provide these services, NSF will support a WHOI technician and a URI technician for SeaBeam cruises during 1994. Program expects that this subcontract will be terminated in 1995. Program recommends a three-year award for this grant, with a Year 1 budget of $419,729 for shipboard technical services to be provided by the WHOI technician program during 1994. Funding for Years 2 and 3 of this award will be negotiated when ship schedules for 1995 and 1996 are finalized.
