University of Washington proposes to support technical services on R/V Thompson, a 274? general purpose, global class research vessel, and R/V Barnes, a 66-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The proposal requests support for basic services. They will provide at least two shipboard technicians on each cruise of R/V Thompson to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. As part of the basic services, they will maintain and operate the multibeam sonar systems on R/V Thompson. For R/V Barnes, a technician is available to sail if desired by the chief scientists, though (s)he will often not sail due to space limitations. The technician will provide shared-use instrumentation for use by the scientists, and provide remote support as needed if a technician does not sail. The budget included with this proposal is for the first year of a 5-year continuing grant.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.

华盛顿大学提议支持 R/V Thompson（274？）的技术服务通用全球级研究船和 66 英尺长的沿海研究船 R/V Barnes 均属于大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 该提案要求支持基本服务。 他们将在 R/V Thompson 的每次航行中提供至少两名船上技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护、校准并向合格用户提供共享研究仪器池中的物品。 作为基本服务的一部分，他们将维护和操作 R/V Thompson 上的多波束声纳系统。 对于 R/V Barnes，如果首席科学家需要，技术人员可以出航，尽管由于空间限制，他（她）通常不会出航。技术人员将提供共享仪器供科学家使用，并在技术人员不航行时根据需要提供远程支持。 该提案中包含的预算是为期 5 年的连续拨款的第一年。 更广泛的影响 当前提案的主要影响是在标准二下，为科学家使用该船及其共享仪器提供基础设施支持，以支持他们的 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。
