University of Miami proposes to support technical services on R/V Walton Smith, a 96?, general purpose regional vessel operated and owned by the University of Miami?s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) as part of the US Academic Fleet. These vessels are scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). R/V Walton Smith conducts a substantial portion of her operations in the near shore waters of South Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, providing scientific information relevant to major environmental initiatives. As part of their basic operations they will provide one technician on each seagoing research project, and will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. 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.The Program received the proposal on 12/20/17. 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.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.

迈阿密大学提议为 R/V Walton Smith 号提供技术服务，这是一艘 96 英寸通用支线船舶，由迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院 (RSMAS) 运营和拥有，属于美国学术舰队的一部分。这些船只由大学国家海洋实验室系统 (UNOLS) 安排。 R/V Walton Smith 的大部分业务是在南佛罗里达州和墨西哥湾的近岸水域进行的，提供与重大环境倡议相关的科学信息。 作为其基本业务的一部分，他们将为每个海上研究项目提供一名技术人员，并将维护、校准并向合格用户提供共享研究仪器池中的物品。 本提案中的预算是五年连续拨款的第一年。提供的年份为估计值，奖励将在收到年度报告后进行协商。该计划于 2017 年 12 月 20 日收到提案。根据要求，该报告提供了有关 2017 年运营的信息以及 2018 年计划概述和拟议预算。学术舰队中的研究船为来自各种联邦和州机构以及一些私人赞助商的研究人员提供支持。所有用户（或适当的资助机构）通过按日费率平等地分享对船舶基本技术服务的支持，每个用户根据船舶的部分使用情况支付一定的费用。费率每年与 NSF 项目经理协商。 更广泛的影响 当前提案的主要影响是根据提案指南 (NSF 13-589) 的绩效审查标准 2 进行的。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、维护和操作使美国任何大学或实验室的 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。
