2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

2009年7月17日提案编号：0943629机构：罗德岛大学PI：S.DeBow本奖项由2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助。提案要求为罗德岛大学(URI)运营的船只提供大量船上科学支持(SSSE)项目；即R/V努力。这些请求特别包括从过去的NSF检查或邮轮后评估(PCA)中建议的项目，以及运营商因成本原因而推迟的项目。所有要求的物品要么提高了安全性，增强了科学保障能力，要么延长了船只的使用寿命。由于这些请求的性质和时间，SSSE方案通常要求的供应商报价标准由于必要而被放弃，其中许多数字作为预算目的估计，主要基于船舶运营商过去从事类似工作的经验。更广泛的影响：R/V努力支持联邦政府资助的大西洋科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的了解。在运营期间，这艘船通常会让研究生和本科生接触海洋海洋学。公众宣传还通过实时卫星从船到岸的连接、开放参观活动以及参与海上教师计划和Mate计划来实现。这项工作计划在2009年完成140多天的NSF赞助活动。

ABSTRACT 17 July 2009Proposal Number: 0943629Institution: University of Rhode IslandPI: S. DeBowThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The proposal requests numerous Shipboard Scientific Support (SSSE) items for the vessel operated by University of Rhode Island (URI); namely the R/V ENDEAVOR. The requests specifically include items that have been recommended from past NSF inspections, or Post-Cruise Assessments (PCA's) and have been otherwise deferred by the operators due to cost. All of the items requested will either improve safety, enhance science support capability, or extend vessel service life. Due to the nature and timing of these requests, the vendor quotation standards normally required by the SSSE Program were waived out of necessity with many of the figures provided as estimates for budgetary purposes and based mainly on past experience of the vessel operators for similar work. Broader Impacts: The R/V ENDEAVOR supports federally funded scientific research in the Atlantic in order to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Pubic outreach is also achieved through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, open house events, and participation in both the Teachers at Sea and MATE programs. The ENDEAVOR is scheduled to complete over 140 NSF sponsored days in 2009.
