Kilo Moana is a 186 foot, general-purpose research vessel built in 2002 and operated by the University of Hawaii under a charter party agreement with the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The vessel is part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF) and 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. In 2019, Kilo Moana had 286 funded days with 206 of them for NSF. In 2020, the vessel is scheduled to sail 236 days with 204 (86%) of them for NSF.The University of Hawaii requests funds for the replacement the their eXpendable BathyTherograph (XBT) system.XBT Deck Unit $17,210 Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 19-602). 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.

Kilo Moana 是一艘 186 英尺长的通用研究船，建于 2002 年，由夏威夷大学根据与海军研究办公室 (ONR) 签订的租船协议运营。该船是美国学术研究舰队 (ARF) 的一部分，并得到大学国家海洋实验室系统 (UNOLS) 的支持。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。 2019 年，基洛莫阿纳有 286 个资助日，其中 206 个资助日为 NSF。到 2020 年，该船计划航行 236 天，其中 204 天（86%）为 NSF 服务。夏威夷大学请求资金更换其可扩展 BathyTherograph (XBT) 系统。XBT 甲板单元 17,210 美元 更广泛的影响本提案符合提案指南 (NSF 19-602) 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。
