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.

西海岸面包车目前由10个模块化实验室货车组成，这些货车均由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，并在世界各地运输以支持海科学。本提案中包括的资金将用于支持对现有货车的多次升级和维修，以及人事时间以提供必要的一般维护。拟议的2018赛季目前在时间表上使用了超过400天的货车使用，但是像往年一样，随着年份的进展，该数字会增加。货车将运送到阿拉斯加和夏威夷，以及整个西海岸和东太平洋地区的其他港口。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与西海岸货车池相关的运输和物流。在提案指南（NSF 13-589）的优点审查标准下，本提案的主要影响更大。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。
