ABSTRACT 25 April 2012Proposal Number: 1222405Institution: University of DelawarePI: T. DeeringThis proposal requests CY 2012 operational funding support for the East Coast Van Pool which is managed by the University of Delaware. The East Coast Van Pool is located at the College of Marine Studies in Lewes, Delaware. The East Coast Van Pool supports federally-funded oceanographic research by providing properly outfitted and maintained portable laboratory vans of all types to the Academic Research Vessel Fleet. Pooling of portable capital equipment such as this (1) provides Centers of Expertise with logistical support for science and ship operators; (2) provides equipment that is Free at the Point of Use to NSF-funded users which relieves burden on science and ship operations grants; (3) provides a mechanism for non-NSF funded users to share maintenance costs by paying established daily rates; (4) reduces the need for duplication of equipment at multiple institutions which results in a long-term cost savings to the federal agencies; (5) generates improved budget transparency on actual costs to operate and properly maintain capital, shared-use equipment; (6) allows NSF to make proper equipment purchase decisions based on science needs and provide the appropriate, dedicated, long-term support budgets; and (7) improves the quality and reliability of equipment.Broader Impacts: The research projects supported by the equipment pools have been individually peer-reviewed for scientific merit with all equipment deployments coordinated with University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) ship time requests. During operations, vessels in the Academic Research Vessel Fleet routinely expose graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Specifically, the College of Marine and Earth Studies at the University of Delaware participates in a large number of outreach programs including open house events (Coast Day) and participation in the MATE program. UD also owns and operates the R/V HUGH R. SHARP as part of the Academic Fleet.

摘要2012年4月25日植物编号：1222405 INSTITITION：Delawarepi大学：T。Deeringthis提案请求CY 2012 2012年针对由特拉华大学管理的东海岸货车池的运营资金支持。东海岸面包车池位于特拉华州刘易斯的海洋研究学院。 东海岸货车池通过为学术研究船队的各种类型提供了适当配备并维护各种类型的便携式实验室货车，从而为联邦资助的海洋学研究提供了支持。 （1）这样的便携式资本设备的汇总为科学和船舶运营商提供后勤支持为专业知识提供； （2）提供了在使用时免费提供给NSF资助的用户的设备，从而减轻了科学和船舶运营赠款的负担； （3）为非NSF资助的用户提供了一种机制，可以通过支付确定的每日费率来分享维护成本； （4）减少了多个机构重复设备的需求，从而为联邦机构节省了长期成本； （5）对实际成本的预算透明度提高，以运营和适当维护资本，共享用途设备； （6）允许NSF根据科学需求做出适当的设备购买决策，并提供适当，专用，长期的支持预算； （7）提高设备的质量和可靠性。公开的影响：设备池支持的研究项目已通过同行评审，以供科学优点，所有设备部署与大学 - 大学国家学科实验室（UNOLS）船舶时间请求协调。 在操作过程中，学术研究船队中的船只通常将毕业生和本科生暴露于海洋学。 具体来说，特拉华大学的海洋和地球研究学院参加了许多外展计划，包括开放日活动（海岸日）和参加伴侣计划。 UD还拥有并经营R/V Hugh R. Sharp作为学术舰队的一部分。
