Oceanographic Technical Services, R/V Point Sur, 2012 ? 2016

圣何塞州立大学建议支持R/V Point Sur的技术服务，这是一个135？Moss Landing海洋实验室运营的通用UNOLS研究船，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 他们要求提供基本服务和维修一辆拖车，作为专门服务。它们将为“Point Sur”号研究船的每个海上研究项目提供一名技术员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护、校准和向合格用户提供共用研究仪器中的物品。 更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是在标准二下，为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享使用的仪器，以支持他们的NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查）。 对共享使用仪器的维护和操作的支持允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员访问工作，校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。

San Jose State University proposes to support technical services on R/V Point Sur, a 135? general purpose UNOLS research vessel operated by the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. They request support for basic services and maintenance of a towed, undulating vehicle as specialized services. They will provide one technician on each seagoing research project of R/V Point Sur to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. The budget in this proposal is for the first year of a 5-year continuing grant.Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two, providing infrastructure support for scientists to use the vessel and its shared-use instrumentation in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects (which individually undergo separate review by the relevant research program of NSF). The support of maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers.
