WHOI proposes a five-year renewal that follows support provided under OCE-0649621, which will end in March 2012. The WHOI TowCams, operated within the MISO Facility are currently the only routinely available US systems for towed deep-sea digital imaging and short-term time-lapse imaging. The importance of digital seafloor photography for multidisciplinary science, including research that has been conducted at the three Ridge2000 (R2K) Integrated Study Sites (ISSs), and for general geological, chemical and biological oceanography supported by core MGG and Biological Oceanography programs at NSF and within other agencies (e.g., USGS, NOAA), is well documented.Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two, providing 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 support of 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. All users (or the appropriate funding agencies) share support for basic technical services on the vessel equally, with NSF paying a share of technical support costs based on fractional usage of the vessel during the year.

WHOI 提议在 OCE-0649621 提供的支持之后进行五年续订，该支持将于 2012 年 3 月结束。在 MISO 设施内运行的 WHOI TowCam 是目前美国唯一常规可用的拖曳式深海数字成像和短距离成像系统。术语延时成像。数字海底摄影对于多学科科学的重要性，包括在三个 Ridge2000 (R2K) 综合研究站点 (ISS) 进行的研究，以及由 NSF 和 NSF 核心 MGG 和生物海洋学项目支持的一般地质、化学和生物海洋学的重要性在其他机构（例如 USGS、NOAA）内，有详细记录。 更广泛的影响 当前提案的主要影响是在标准二下，为科学家使用该船和提供基础设施支持其共享仪器支持其 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）。 对共享仪器的维护和操作的支持使美国任何大学或实验室的 NSF 资助的研究人员都可以使用经过校准的工作仪器进行研究，从而降低研究成本并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。所有用户（或适当的资助机构）平等地分享对船舶基本技术服务的支持，NSF 根据一年中船舶的使用情况支付一定比例的技术支持费用。
