University of Washington proposes to support technical services on R/V Thompson, a 274? general purpose, global class research vessel, and R/V Rachael Carson, a newly outfitted 72-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF). The proposal requests support for basic services. They will provide at least two shipboard technicians on each cruise of R/V Thompson to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. As part of the basic services, they will maintain and operate the multibeam sonar systems on R/V Thompson. For R/V Carson, a technician is available to sail if desired by the chief scientists, though (s)he will occasionally not sail due to space limitations. The technician will provide shared-use instrumentation for use by the scientists, and provide remote support as needed if a technician does not sail. The budget included with this proposal is for the first year of a 4-year continuing grant.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.

华盛顿大学建议支持R/V Thompson的技术服务，A 274？全球班级研究船和R/V Rachael Carson是一款新装备的72英尺沿海研究船，都是美国学术研究机队（ARF）的一部分。 该提案要求支持基本服务。 他们将在R/V Thompson的每次巡游中至少提供两名船上技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护，校准并为其共享使用研究工具池中的合格用户物品提供。 作为基本服务的一部分，他们将在R/V Thompson上维护和操作多层声纳系统。 对于R/V Carson来说，如果首席科学家需要，技术人员可以航行，但是由于空间限制，他偶尔不会航行。该技术人员将提供共享的使用仪器，以供科学家使用，并在技术人员不航行时根据需要提供远程支持。 该提案中包括的预算是为期4年的持续赠款的第一年。BROADER会影响本提案的主要影响，这是根据提案指南的优异审查标准2（NSF 13-589）的优点审查标准。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。
