Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) proposes to support technical services on R/V Pelican, a 116 foot, general purpose research vessel operated by the consortium as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. They request support for basic services only; they will provide one technician on each seagoing research project. In addition, the technical services group will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. The budget included with this report is for the first year of a 4-year continuing grant.In 2012, Pelican had no days for NSF. All other vessels in the Academic Fleet submitted proposals in 2012 for the first year of a 5-year continuing grant. For LUMCON, however, there was no award made in 2012. In order to keep all vessels on the same schedule with regards to the length of the technical services continuing grants, this award is proposed as the first year of a four-year continuing grant.The Program received the proposal on 1/18/2013. As required, the proposal provided information regarding 2012 operations as well as outlining plans and a proposed budget for 2013. Research vessels in the Academic Fleet provide support for researchers from a variety of federal and state agencies, as well as some private sponsors. All users (or the appropriate funding agencies) share support for basic technical services on the vessel equally, via a day-rate, with each paying a share of the costs based on fractional usage of the vessel. The rates are negotiated annually with the NSF Program Manager.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.

路易斯安那大学海洋联盟（Lumcon）建议支持R/V鹈鹕的技术服务，该公司是该财团经营的116英尺，通用研究船，作为大学国家国家海洋学实验室系统研究机队的一部分。 他们仅要求支持基本服务；他们将在每个海上研究项目中提供一名技术人员。此外，技术服务组将维护，校准并为其共享研究仪器库中的合格用户物品提供。该报告中包含的预算是为期4年的持续拨款的第一年。2012年，鹈鹕没有NSF的日子。学术车队中的所有其他船只在2012年提交了5年持续赠款的第一年。但是，对于Lumcon而言，2012年没有颁发奖励。为了使所有船只都按照相同的时间表进行技术服务持续的赠款，该奖项是为期四年的持续拨款的第一年。该计划于2013年1月18日收到了该提案。根据需要，该提案提供了有关2012年运营以及概述计划和拟议预算的信息。学术舰队的研究船为来自各种联邦和州机构的研究人员以及一些私人赞助商提供了支持。所有用户（或适当的资金机构）通过日期平均同等地对船只上的基本技术服务表示支持，每次基于船只的分数使用，每天都在支付一部分费用。该费率每年与NSF计划经理进行协商。公民对本提案的主要影响在标准二下，为科学家提供了基础设施支持，以支持科学家使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（该项目由NSF的相关研究计划单独审查）。 共享使用仪器的维护和运行的支持使NSF资助的任何美国大学或实验室的研究人员都可以访问工作，校准了其研究的仪器，降低了该研究的成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。
