Support of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) Office Operation

2003年5月23日建议编号：0328254机构：圣何塞州立大学国际关系：普林斯，乔纳森M.大学-国家实验室系统(UNLS)是由在海洋科学方面拥有研究和教育项目的美国机构组成的协会。它成立于1971年，是成员机构运营的海洋设施的协调、调度和规划机制。大多数设施是学术研究船(联合国后勤基地舰队)，但也包括潜水器、遥控运载器(ROV)、飞机和美国海岸警卫队破冰船。联索政治处的目标是协助协调和调度设施和共用设备，并有效利用有限资源。该办公室是规划、协调和报告联索政治处活动的协调中心。联合国最不发达国家办事处和本组织还促进公众对这些设施及其可能取得的发现的认识和支持。UNLS办公室得到海军、NOAA、USGS、MMS和美国能源部六个资助机构的支持，为设施用户、运营商和支持联邦机构提供一个论坛，以合作实现主要研究船只和设施的共同目标，协调有效的设施调度，并提高此类设施的安全和质量。更广泛的影响：拟议的活动涉及与为海洋科学和教育提供和加强主要共享使用设施有关的更广泛的社区需求。该办公室促进协作与合作，同时解决60多个机构的研究和教育问题。联合国最不发达国家办事处各委员会和办事处通过网站、专业期刊文章、演讲活动和海洋学研究人员利用联合国最不发达国家办事处的研究船开展的教育外联活动，开展公共外联活动。

23 May 2003Proposal Number: 0328254Institution: San Jose State U.PI: Prince, Jonathan M. The University-National Laboratory System (UNOLS) is an association of 64 US institutions that have research and education programs in the ocean sciences. It was established in 1971 as a coordinating, scheduling and planning mechanism for oceanographic facilities operated by member institutions. The majority of the facilities are academic research vessels (UNOLS fleet), but also includes submersibles, remote operated vehicles (ROV), aircraft and US Coast Guard Icebreakers. The UNOLS goal is to assist in the coordination and scheduling of facilities and shared-use equipment and provide efficient use of finite resources. This Office is the focal point for planning, coordinating and reporting of UNOLS activities. The UNOLS Office and Organization also promote public awareness and support for these facilities and the discoveries they make possible. The UNOLS Office is supported by six funding agencies; Navy, NOAA, USGS, MMS and DOE to provides a forum for facility users, operators and supporting Federal Agencies to co-operate in achieving common goals for major research vessels and facilities, coordinating efficient facilities scheduling and improving the safety and quality of such facilities. Broader Impact: The proposed activities address the broader community needs related to providing and enhancing major shared use facilities for marine science and education. The Office promotes collaboration and cooperation while addressing the research and education from more than sixty institutions. The various UNOLS committees and the UNOLS office engage in public outreach through websites, professional journal articles, speaking engagements and educational outreach by oceanographic researchers using UNOLS research vessels.
