A request is made to fund Oceanographic Instrumentation for the R/V Hugh R Sharp, a 146-foot Regional research vessel operated by the University of Delaware 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 2017, the R/V Hugh R Sharp completed 174 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 16 days or 10% of the sailing schedule. In 2018, R/V Hugh R Sharp is scheduled for 99 days with NSF days accounting for 31% (30 days) of the total sailing schedule. Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) POS MV Replacement $90,0002) Big Eye Binoculars $37,0003) Fiber Optic Fusion Splicer $20,000 $147,000Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 13-589). It provides 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

提出了为R/V Hugh R Sharp提供海洋学仪器的要求，R/V Hugh R Sharp是由特拉华大学经营的146英尺区域研究船，作为大学国家国际海洋学实验室系统（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。 2017年，R/V Hugh R Sharp在海上完成了174天。 NSF资助的项目占航行时间表的16天或10％。在2018年，R/V Hugh R Sharp计划在99天内进行99天，NSF天为帆船总计划的31％（30天）。本提案中要求的海洋学仪器包括：1）POS MV替换$ 90,0002）大眼睛双筒望远镜$ 37,0003）光纤融合拼接$ 20,000 $ 20,000 $ 147,000-BOADER会影响本提案的主要影响，该提案的主要影响是根据提案指南的优先审查标准2（NSF 13-589）。它为科学家提供了基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享用途的仪器来支持其NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（NSF相关研究计划单独进行了审查）。 共享使用工具的获取，维护和操作允许NSF资助的任何美国大学或实验室访问工作，校准其研究的仪器，降低该研究的成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。本奖项奖反映了NSF的立法任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力评估和广泛的评估来评估的，并值得通过评估来进行评估。
