The University of Hawaii requests $501,697 for the purchase, fabrication, and installation of a CTD winch for the Research Vessel Kilo Moana. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is providing funding for an accompanying launch and recovery system (LARS). The Kilo Moana is a general-purpose research vessel operated under a charter party agreement with ONR as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF) which is supported by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Ship time is made available to academic researchers funded by the NSF, ONR, NOAA, NASA, and other federal and state agencies. The R/V Kilo Moana conducts a substantial portion of CTD operations in deep water, up to 6,000 meters depth in the mid-Pacific Ocean. These operations require a safe, efficient, and reliable means for transporting the CTD rosette from the deck of the ship into the water.Broader 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 project is jointly funded by NSF/GEO/OCE/IPS and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

夏威夷大学请求 501,697 美元，用于为基洛莫阿纳号研究船购买、制造和安装 CTD 绞车。 海军研究办公室 (ONR) 正在为配套的发射和回收系统 (LARS) 提供资金。 Kilo Moana 是一艘通用研究船，根据与 ONR 签订的租船协议运营，作为美国学术研究舰队 (ARF) 的一部分，该舰队由大学国家海洋实验室系统 (UNOLS) 支持。船舶时间可供 NSF、ONR、NOAA、NASA 以及其他联邦和州机构资助的学术研究人员使用。 R/V Kilo Moana 在太平洋中部最深 6,000 米的深水中执行大部分 CTD 作业。 这些操作需要一种安全、高效、可靠的方式来将 CTD Rosette 从船舶甲板运输到水中。 更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响符合提案指南 (NSF 13-589) 的优点审查标准 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。该项目是由 NSF/GEO/OCE/IPS 和刺激竞争研究既定计划 (EPSCoR) 共同资助。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，认为值得支持 标准。
