A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation for the R/V Hugh R Sharp, a 146 foot Regional research vessel operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The R/V Hugh R Sharp is a state-of-the-art, coastal research vessel that is owned and operated by the University of Delaware. The vessel can carry fourteen to twenty scientists on cruises up to eighteen days in duration, and supports projects from all disciplines of oceanography. The vessel is a regional asset, serving researchers from many institutions throughout the mid-Atlantic. The vessel typically operates in the coastal waters from Long Island, New York, to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, as well as the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. Projects occasionally require the vessel to work as far north as the Gulf of Maine, as far south as Florida, and as far offshore as Bermuda. In 2012, the R/V Hugh R Sharp completed 204 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 37% of the total sailing schedule. In 2013, R/V Hugh R Sharp is scheduled for 216 days with NSF days accounting for 35% of the total sailing schedule.Oceanographic instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) Chirp 3260 Dual Channel Echo Sounder $63,200 2) Scanfish Upgrade $66,000 Total $129,200 Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two of the Proposal Guidelines. They provide 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.

提出了为R/V Hugh R Sharp提供额外和备用工具的要求，R/V Hugh R Sharp是一艘146英尺的区域研究船，作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究机队的一部分。 R/V Hugh R Sharp是一艘最先进的沿海研究船，由特拉华大学拥有和运营。该船可以在持续时间长达18天的巡航中运载14至20名科学家，并支持来自所有海洋学学科的项目。该船是区域资产，为整个大西洋地区许多机构的研究人员提供服务。该船通常在纽约长岛到北卡罗来纳州哈特拉斯角以及特拉华州和切萨皮克海湾的沿海水域运行。项目偶尔要求该船北部至缅因州的北部，直至佛罗里达州南部，并在近海到达百慕大。 2012年，R/V Hugh R Sharp在海上完成了204天。 NSF资助的项目占帆船总计划的37％。 In 2013, R/V Hugh R Sharp is scheduled for 216 days with NSF days accounting for 35% of the total sailing schedule.Oceanographic instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) Chirp 3260 Dual Channel Echo Sounder $63,200 2) Scanfish Upgrade $66,000 Total $129,200 Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two of the Proposal指南。他们为科学家提供了基础设施支持，以利用该船及其共享用途的工具来支持其NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（NSF相关研究计划单独接受了单独的审查）。 共享使用仪器的采集，维护和运行允许NSF资助的任何美国大学或实验室访问工作，校准研究的仪器，降低该研究成本并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。
