Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment: Oceanographic Cable

本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南(NSF 13-589)的功绩审查标准2。它为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享仪器，以支持他们由NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查)。共享仪器的购买、维护和操作使美国国家科学基金会资助的任何大学或实验室的研究人员都可以获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。伍兹霍尔海洋研究所代表大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)提议继续采购机电海洋电缆和扭矩平衡钢丝绳，以满足联合国海洋实验室船舶的需求，从2017年1月1日开始，为期五年。

The 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 U.S. university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers.The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, on behalf of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), proposes to continue the procurement of electro-mechanical oceanographic cables and torque-balanced wire rope to meet the needs of UNOLS ships for a five-year period beginning 1 January 2017.
