Ship Operations: R/V Cape Hatteras

该奖项将通过为主要在东海岸和墨西哥湾进行的研究提供安全平台，支持NSF资助的研究项目。 本提案涵盖五年合作协议的第一年，即2012年1月至12月。 资金将每年重新谈判，并将取决于在海上支持NSF资助的研究的天数。 2012年，在112个海上作业日中，有69个由国家科学基金会资助。 该提案的学术价值在于得到资助的科学部门提出的经过同行审查的提案。 哈特拉斯角符合USCG、大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）和美国航运局（ABS）的规定，由国家科学基金会拥有。

This award will support NSF funded research programs by providing a safe platform for studies conducted primarily on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. This proposal covers year 1 of a 5-year cooperative agreement, from January through December 2012. Funding will be re-negotiated each year and will be dependent upon the number of days at sea in support of NSF funded research. In 2012, 69 operational-sea days out of 112 are funded by NSF. The intellectual merit of the proposal lies in the peer-reviewed proposals from the science sections that have been funded. Cape Hatteras is in compliance with USCG, University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) regulations and is owned by the National Science Foundation.
