EAGER - Great Lakes Research for Early Career Scientists

这个奖项是一个请求，以资助一套研究培训巡航在明尼苏达大学？的R/V蓝鹭为早期的职业科学家。这项工作将有两个目标：1）教导早期职业湖泊科学家如何获取、规划和管理UNOLS船上的巡航，为UNOLS和学术船队引入新一代科学家;和2）接触五大湖科学界的成员，该科学界向NSF请求UNOLS船只、UNOLS和学术船队提交提案的比例极低。该奖项进行了两次成功的首席科学家培训巡航（在2014年和2015年），并与此将扩大参与者的数量和我们的业务领域从单一的苏必利尔湖上级到两个湖上级和Michigan.智力优点：这里设想的培训巡航将允许早期的职业科学家收集种子数据和测试假设，为未来的建议NSF.更广泛的影响：这项建议旨在教育下一代的研究人员关于UNOLS的capabilitiesofUNOLS.联合国后勤处与潜在用户之间的这种外联活动不仅对更广泛的科学界很重要，而且对未充分利用联合国后勤处资产的五大湖社区也有双重重要性。

This award is a request to fund a set of research training cruises on the University ofMinnesota?s R/V Blue Heron for early career scientists. The work will have two goals:1) teach early career lacustrine scientists how to acquire, plan for, and manage cruises aboardUNOLS ships, introducing a new generation of scientists to UNOLS and the academic fleet; and2) expose members of the Great Lakes scientific community, which has an abysmally low submittalrate of proposals to NSF requesting UNOLS ships, to UNOLS and the academic fleet. The awardeeundertaken two successful Chief Scientist Training Cruises (in 2014 and 2015) and with this will expand the number of participants and our area of operations from solely LakeSuperior to both Lakes Superior and Michigan.Intellectual Merit :The training cruise envisioned herein will allow early career scientists to collect seed dataand test hypotheses for future proposals to NSF.Broader Impacts :This proposal intends to educate the next generation of researchers about the capabilitiesof UNOLS. This type of outreach between UNOLS and potential users is not only important forthe broader scientific community, but doubly important for the Great Lakes community whichunderutilizes UNOLS assets.
