Scripps Institution of Oceanography - Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（SIO）申请船用科学支持设备（SSSE）的资金，用于开展nsf支持的科学研究。在大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）的合作框架内，拟议的设备将由SIO船舶操作部门维护，供需要这些海上设施的全国机构的nsf支持的科学家使用。SIO运营的三艘船：RV Sally Ride，一艘238英尺的海军船只，2014年建造，RV Sproul，一艘125英尺的国有船只和RV Roger Revelle，一艘273英尺的海军船只。莎莉·莱德在2019年完成了282天的资助，其中只有13天是为国家科学基金会工作的。2020年，该船计划停留254天，其中102天将用于支持美国国家科学基金会资助的科学研究。斯普罗在2019年完成了90天的工作，其中6天是为NSF工作的。2020年，该船计划总共运行81天，其中2天用于NSF。Revelle目前处于中期改装阶段，但在2019年完成了85天的改装，其中72天用于NSF。2020年，她计划航行177天，其中98天为国家科学基金会服务。有了这个提议，SIO提供了收购以下SSSE的技术描述和基本原理：1)宽口滑车R/V Robert Gordon Sproul $26,0142)拖网绞车水平风R/V Robert Gordon Sproul $127,0133)悬挂滑轮踏面R/V Roger Revelle $13,0414)悬挂滑轮踏面R/V Sally Ride $13,0415)为R/V Roger Revelle更换便携式起重机$222,760 $401,869更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案的优点审查标准2指南（NSF 13-589）。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。

Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) requests funds for Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) that is needed to carry out NSF-supported scientific research. Working within the collaborative framework of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), the proposed equipment will be maintained by the SIO ship operations department for use by NSF-supported scientists from institutions nationwide who require these seagoing facilities. Equipment is requested for the three vessels operated by SIO: RV Sally Ride, a 238-foot, Navy-owned vessel built in 2014, RV Sproul, a 125-foot state-owned vessel and RV Roger Revelle, a 273-foot, Navy-owned vessel. Sally Ride completed 282 funded days in 2019, only 13 of which were for NSF. In 2020, the ship is scheduled for 254 days with 102 of them in support of NSF-funded science. Sproul completed 90 days in 2019, 6 of which were for NSF. In 2020, the vessel is scheduled for 81 total days with 2 of them for NSF. Revelle is currently in mid-life refit but completed 85 days in 2019, 72 of which were for NSF. In 2020, she is scheduled to sail 177 days with 98 of those for NSF. With this proposal, SIO provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following SSSE:1) Wide-throat block R/V Robert Gordon Sproul $26,0142) Trawl winch level wind R/V Robert Gordon Sproul $127,0133) Flagging block sheave tread R/V Roger Revelle $13,0414) Flagging block sheave tread R/V Sally Ride $13,0415) Replacement portable crane for R/V Roger Revelle $222,760 $401,869Broader 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.
