Sea Education Association/SSV Corwith Cramer & SSV Robert C. Seamans Oceanographic Instrumentation

海洋教育协会（SEA）要求国家科学基金会提供资金，更新其帆船研究船实验室的现有海洋学设备，以继续培训海洋科学的本科生，并进一步收集海洋采样不足地区的数据，以提交国家档案馆。SSVs Corwith Cramer和Robert C.海洋学家分别在大西洋和太平洋开展活动，支持教育计划和海洋学研究。所要求的设备将由全国各地大学和研究机构的本科生和合作科学家使用。所有生成的数据将通过提交给NSF研究船数据档案库Rolling Deck to Repository（R2 R）与整个海洋学社区免费共享。虽然海洋法船舶不是通过联合国海洋法办事处的伞式机构操作的，但该组织向科学和技术支助界提供了许多高素质人员的例子。必须为他们的努力提供财政支持，以确保这一管道保持生产力。本提案要求为以下海洋仪器提供资金：两（2）个SBE CTD套件44，747美元两（2）个LED落射荧光套件31，562美元两（2）个UV/维斯分光光度计11，422美元 87，731美元更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南（NSF 13-589）的优点审查标准2。它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来支持他们的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）。 共享使用仪器的获取、维护和操作允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作、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。

Sea Education Association (SEA) requests funding from the National Science Foundation to update existing oceanographic equipment in its sailing research vessel laboratories in order to continue training undergraduates in the marine sciences, and to further collection of data from under-sampled areas of the oceans for submission to national archives. The SSVs Corwith Cramer and Robert C. Seamans operate in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, respectively, supporting educational programs and oceanographic research. The equipment requested will be used by undergraduate students and collaborating scientists from colleges and research institutions throughout the country. All data generated will be freely shared with the entire oceanographic community via submission to the NSF Research Vessel data archive Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R). Although SEA vessels are not operated through the UNOLS umbrella, the organization has provided numerous examples of quality personnel both to the scientific and technical support communities. Financial support of their efforts is necessary to ensure this pipeline remains productive. This proposal requests fund for the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:Two (2) SBE CTD packages $44,747Two (2) LED epifluorescence packages $31,562Two (2) UV/VIS Spectrophotometers $11,422 $87,731Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 13-589). It provides 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 acquisition, 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.
