The West Coast Van Pool currently consists of 10 modular laboratory vans that are all owned by the National Science Foundation or Oregon State University. These vans are maintained by Oregon State University and shipped all over the world in support of sea-going science. Funds included in this proposal will be used to support several upgrades and repairs to the existing vans as well as personnel time to provide necessary general maintenance. The proposed 2018 season currently has over 400 days of van use on the schedule however, like previous years, it is anticipated that number to increase as the year progresses. Vans will be shipped to Alaska and Hawaii as well as other ports throughout the West Coast and Eastern Pacific. Every effort is made to reduce the time and cost for shipping vans. Numerous UNOLS research vessels and institutions have been utilized to help assist in the transportation and logistics associated with the West Coast Van Pool. 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.

西海岸货车池目前由 10 辆模块化实验室货车组成，全部归美国国家科学基金会或俄勒冈州立大学所有。这些货车由俄勒冈州立大学维护，并运往世界各地以支持航海科学。该提案中包含的资金将用于支持对现有货车的多次升级和维修，以及提供必要的一般维护的人员时间。目前，拟议的 2018 赛季计划中有超过 400 天的货车使用天数，但与往年一样，预计随着时间的推移，这一数字将会增加。货车将被运往阿拉斯加和夏威夷以及整个西海岸和东太平洋的其他港口。我们尽一切努力减少运输货车的时间和成本。许多 UNOLS 研究船和机构已被用来帮助协助与西海岸货车池相关的运输和物流。更广泛的影响 本提案的主要影响符合提案指南 (NSF 13-589) 的绩效审查标准 2。它为科学家使用该船及其共享仪器提供基础设施支持，以支持其 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）。 共享仪器的采购、维护和操作使任何美国大学或实验室的 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。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
