OSU/Oceanus Oceanographic Instrumentation

请求提供资金，为R/V Oceanus购置新仪器，这是一艘177英尺长的研究船，由俄勒冈州州立大学经营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分，R/V Oceanus是一艘通用研究船，由国家科学基金会拥有，由俄勒冈州州立大学经营。该船的使命是支持太平洋西北部的资助科学研究。 R/V Oceanus在2018年完成了168天，其中125天（75%）是NSF。2019年，该船计划航行217天，占NSF计划的15%（83天）。 在本提案中，俄勒冈州立大学提供了技术说明和购置以下海洋仪器的理由： 姿态传感器升级$10，152声学甲板箱$15，050系泊部署系统$18，445 43，647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美国任何大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作、校准的仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了NSF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。

A request is made to fund new instrumentation for the R/V Oceanus, a 177-foot research vessel operated by Oregon State University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet.The R/V Oceanus is a general-purpose research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by Oregon State University. The mission of the ship is to support funded science research in the Pacific Northwest. R/V Oceanus completed 168 days in 2018, 125 (75%) of which were for NSF. In 2019, the vessel is scheduled to sail 217 days with 15% (83 days) of the schedule for NSF. With this proposal, OSU provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation: Attitude Sensor Upgrade $10,152 Acoustic Deck Box $15,050 Mooring Deployment System $18,445 $43,647 Broader 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.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.
