University of Minnesota proposes to support technical services on R/V Blue Heron, an 86? general purpose UNOLS research vessel operated by the UM Duluth Large Lakes Observatory as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. They request support for basic services and specialized services. They will provide one technician on each lake-going research project of R/V Blue Heron to support lacustrine research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. The Program received the proposal on 1/6/2018. As required, the report provided information regarding 2017 operations as well as outlining plans and a proposed budget for 2018. 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. The budget in this proposal is for the first year of a five-year continuing grant. Out years are provided as estimates and the awards will be negotiated upon receipt of the annual report.Broader Impacts The 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.

明尼苏达大学提议支持R/V Blue Heron的技术服务86？通用UNOLS研究船由UM Duluth大湖天文台操作，这是大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究机队的一部分。 他们要求支持基本服务和专业服务。他们将为R/V Blue Heron的每个湖泊研究项目提供一名技术人员，以支持湖泊研究项目，并维护，校准并从其共享使用研究工具库中提供合格的用户物品。该计划于2018年1月6日收到了该提案。根据需要，该报告提供了有关2017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。费率每年与NSF计划经理进行协商。该提案的预算是五年持续赠款的第一年。根据估计，将在收到年度报告后谈判奖励，并将其奖励协商。Broader影响本提案的主要影响在提案指南的优点审查标准下（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。
