摘要2009年7月31日提案编号：0943311机构：伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）主要研究者： D. Fisichella Co-PI：S.该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该提案要求提供资金，以启动联合国海洋法办事处东海岸绞车池，该绞车池将支持美国学术研究船队以及其他美国政府拥有的研究船上的科学作业。 提供的大部分资金将用于购买便携式绞车和先进的处理系统？下一代吗这些能力将加强海上安全和科学数据的收集。 这第一年的资金为东海岸绞车池将包括购买和/或维护和升级以下：1。便携式通用绞车（轻型、中型和0.680）2. R/V KNORR 3上的长芯系统。便携式电缆线轴4. JASON绞盘处理系统这些绞盘和处理系统将支持所有UNOLS船只上的各种任务。 联合国海洋法办事处东海岸绞车池和相应的斯克里普斯西海岸绞车池还将确保设备符合联合国海洋法办事处目前的标准，提供通用设计，并为学术船队和整个科学界提供适当的维护、行政和后勤支持。 主要研究者讨论了拟议的联合国毒品和犯罪问题办事处东海岸绞车池的更广泛影响和知识价值。 所购买的共用设备以及为支持这些设备而建立的行政结构，将为船舶经营者和科学界提供更好的服务。 绞盘池结构还将确保设备的适当维护、设计的通用性、符合现行标准以及NSF在物流、跟踪和监督共享使用资产方面的效率。 所资助的研究项目已就其科学价值进行了单独的同行审查。 伍兹霍尔海洋研究所参与了大量的推广计划，包括海上船只的网络广播，开放日活动和其他倡议，如？潜水和探索？阿尔文号潜水艇

ABSTRACT 31 July 2009Proposal Number: 0943311Institution: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)PI: D. FisichellaCo-PI: S. HumphrisThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This proposal requests funding to initiate the UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool which will support scientific operations aboard vessels in the US academic research vessel fleet as well as other US government-owned research vessels. The bulk of the funds provided will purchase portable winches and handling systems having advanced ?next-generations? capabilities that will enhance safety and the collection of scientific data at sea. This first year of funding for the East Coast Winch Pool will include purchase and/or maintenance and up-grade of the following:1. Portable, general-purpose winches (Light-duty, Medium-duty, and 0.680)2. Long Core System aboard the R/V KNORR3. Portable Cable Spoolers4. JASON ROV Handling SystemThese winches and handling systems will support a wide variety missions on all UNOLS vessels. The UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool, and corresponding West Coast Winch Pool at Scripps, will also serve to ensure that the equipment meets current UNOLS standards, provides commonality of design, and provides proper maintenance, administrative and logistical support to the academic fleet and the science community at large.Broader Impacts: The PI addressed the Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit of the proposed UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool. The shared-use equipment purchased, and the administrative structure established to support the equipment, will provide improved services to both the vessel operators and the scientific community. The Winch Pool structure will also ensure proper maintenance of equipment, commonality of design, compliance with current standards, and efficiencies to NSF with regard to logistics, tracking and oversight of shared-use assets. The research projects supported have been individually peer-reviewed for scientific merit. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute participates in a large number of outreach programs including web broadcasts from vessel while at sea, open house events, and other initiatives such as ?Dive and Discover? with the submersible ALVIN.
