Ship Operations 2012- R/V Endeavor

该奖项将支持URI海洋学研究生院海洋办公室继续努力运营R/V Endeavor，以支持我们国家的海洋学科学界参加2012年CY。R/V Endeavor拥有35年高效、安全和灵活的船舶运营记录，并承诺对未来进行投资。这是一份为期五年的合作协议，协议中每一年的资金将根据支持nsf资助的研究的海上天数进行协商。R/V奋进号作为联合国驻联合国特派团的一艘船运行，遵守联合国驻联合国特派团的安全标准和美国国家科学基金会的检查。技术优势：2012年，R/V奋进号将带着四个国家科学基金会资助的研究项目出海。这些由R/V Endeavor在2012年支持的同行评议项目已经被严格评估为科学和智力价值，作为NSF拨款审查和奖励过程的一个组成部分。奖项授予过程的竞争性质确保了非常高的智力水平。“奋进号”支持的研究项目所获得的知识和发现将增进对海洋的了解，并解决一系列重要的科学问题。该提案的目标是为“奋进号”在2012年安全、高效地运行和维护提供资金支持，并确保其维持在计划的生命周期内。这种支持是科学任务安全和成功的必要先决条件。边境影响：罗德岛州支持的国际扶轮奋进计划为罗德岛居民提供了直接使用RV奋进计划的科学研究和教育能力的机会。罗德岛海上教师计划（RITAS）是由海洋计划办公室（OMP）设计的，它在罗德岛居住和教学的海洋科学家、研究人员和教师之间建立了可持续的伙伴关系。入选RITAS项目的教师将成为科学研究团队的一员，在“奋进号”RV上进行海洋科学研究。, # 8232;及# 8232;所有K-12科学、技术、艺术、数学、英语和历史的教育工作者都被邀请申请。没有申请截止日期。GSO在其公共服务和推广项目的广度、成功以及在国内和国际上的声誉方面是独一无二的。纳拉甘西特湾校区的四个团体积极参与协调一致的公共服务和外展工作：沿海研究所（CI），沿海资源中心（CRC），海洋项目办公室（OMP）和罗德岛海洋基金（RISG）。

This award will support the URI Graduate School of Oceanography Marine Office in its ongoing efforts to operate R/V Endeavor in support of our nations oceanographic science community for CY 2012. R/V Endeavor has had a 35-year record of efficient, safe, and flexible ship operations combined with a commitment to invest in the future. This is a five-year cooperative agreement, and funding for each year of the agreement will be negotiated and is dependent on the number of days at sea in support of NSF-funded research. R/V Endeavor operates as a UNOLS ship, adhering to the UNOLS safety standards, and NSF inspections. Technical merit, In 2012 R/V Endeavor will take four NSF sponsored research programs to sea. These peer-reviewed projects supported by operations on R/V Endeavor in 2012 have been rigorously evaluated for scientific and intellectual merit as an integral part of the NSF grant review and award process. The competitive nature of the award granting process ensures a very high level of intellectual merit. Knowledge gained and the discoveries made by the research programs supported by R/V Endeavor will enhance understanding of the oceans and address a broad range of important scientific questions. The goal of this proposal is to provide funding support to safely and productively operate and maintain R/V Endeavor in 2012 and to ensure it is maintained to support its planned life-cycle. This support is an essential prerequisite for safe and successful scientific missions. Boarder Impact: The State of Rhode Island-supported RI Endeavor Program provides Rhode Islanders with direct access to the scientific research and educational capabilities of RV Endeavor. As part of the RI Endeavor Program, educators are provided The Rhode Island Teacher At Sea (RITAS) Program, designed by the Office of Marine Programs (OMP), establishes sustainable partnerships among ocean scientists, researchers and teachers who live and teach in Rhode Island. Teachers selected for the RITAS Program will become part of a scientific research team conducting ocean science research while cruising aboard the RV Endeavor. 

All K-12 educators of Science, Technology, Art, Math, English and History are invited to apply. There is no application deadline. GSO is unique in the breadth, success, and national and international reputation of its public service and outreach programs. Four groups at the Narragansett Bay Campus are actively engaged in concerted public service and outreach efforts: the Coastal Institute (CI), Coastal Resources Center (CRC), Office of Marine Programs (OMP), and Rhode Island Sea Grant (RISG).
