Scripps Institution of Oceanography - Oceanographic Equipment

斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（SIO）要求为开展nsf支持的科学研究所需的海洋仪器提供资金。在大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）的合作框架内，拟议的仪器将由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。该仪器被要求用于RV Sally Ride，这是一艘建于2014年的238英尺的海军舰艇。该船在2019年完成了282天的资助，其中只有13天是为NSF提供的。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。根据该提案，SIO提供了以下海洋仪器的技术描述和基本原理：1)虚拟桌面基础设施（R/V Sally Ride $178,1292） CTD Rosette和CTD Cart系统（R/V Sally Ride $90,4873）声学释放系统（R/V Roger Revelle和R/V Sally Ride $46,730 $315,346）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。

Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) requests funds for oceanographic instrumentation 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 instrumentation will be maintained by the SIO ship operations department for use by NSF-supported scientists from institutions nationwide who require these seagoing facilities. Instrumentation is requested for RV Sally Ride, a 238-foot, Navy-owned vessel built in 2014. The vessel 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. With this proposal, SIO provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:1) Virtual Desktop Infrastructure R/V Sally Ride $178,1292) CTD Rosette and CTD Cart System R/V Sally Ride $90,4873) Acoustic Release System R/V Roger Revelle and R/V Sally Ride $46,730 $315,346Broader 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.
