East Coast Oceanographic Consortium Proposal to Operate Regional Class Research Vessel (RCRV) #2

本方案为RCRV # 2船舶经营人选择方案。该提案的货币价值与第一年的运营成本无关，并且在向运营过渡之前，选择过程不会使获奖人有权获得任何船舶运营资金。获选方将在MREFC建造和交付阶段与OSU签订合同。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This proposal is for the ship operator selection of RCRV # 2. The monetary value of the proposal has no relation to the first year operational costs, and the selection process does not entitle the awardee to any ship operation funds until transition to operations has occurred. The awardee will enter into a contract with OSU under the MREFC phase of construction and delivery.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
