Scripps Institution of Oceanography - Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

为罗杰·雷维尔号（R/V Roger Revelle）的273？通用环球船。该船归海军所有，由斯克里普斯海洋学研究所运营，作为美国学术研究舰队（ARF）的一部分。这艘船支持全世界多学科海洋学研究。美国大洋盆地。2018年，REVELLE完成262天，其中181天（69%）用于NSF。2019年，Revelle目前的计划是86天，其中72天（84%）用于NSF。时间如此之少的原因是，雷维尔计划在一年中的大部分时间里在干船坞进行中期改装。这里提出的许多设备将在此期间安装。优先SSSE请求包括：科学制冷机械197,492对讲电话411,854公共广播系统239,030宽喉筒121,069降低甲板风扇噪音143,109工作船舷外发动机16,240 1,128,794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国家科学基金会资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受国家科学基金会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资助的研究人员为他们的研究访问工作、校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。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。

A request is made to fund Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) for R/V Roger Revelle, a 273? general purpose Global vessel. The ship is owned by Navy and operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF). The ship supports multidisciplinary oceanographic research in all the world?s ocean basins. In 2018, REVELLE completed 262 days, 181 (69%) of which were for NSF. In 2019, Revelle is currently scheduled with 86 days, 72 (84%) of which are for NSF. The reason there are so few days is that Revelle plans to spend most of the year in drydock undergoing a mid-life refit. Much of the equipment proposed here would be installed during this period.The prioritized SSSE request includes the following:Science refrigeration machinery $197,492Intercom & dial telephone $411,854Public address system $239,030Wide throat sheaves $121,069Reduce fan noise on deck $143,109Work boat outboard engines $16,240 $1,128,794Broader 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.
