A request is made to fund Oceanographic Instrumentation for the Research Vessel Savannah, a 92-foot coastal research vessel, owned and operated by Skidaway Institute of Oceanography as part of the Academic Research Fleet (ARF). The primary working area for the vessel has been the continental shelf, coastal and estuarine environments of the Southeastern United States. The ship has also conducted cruises that have crossed the Gulf Stream into the western Sargasso Sea and as far as Curacao in the SE Caribbean. The R/V Savannah has been specifically designed with a large science berthing capacity to provide learning opportunities in ocean and estuarine environments and to demonstrate oceanographic research methodologies to diverse and often under-served student populations. In 2019, the R/V Savannah completed 86 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 15 days (18%) of the total sailing schedule. In 2020, the vessel currently has 142 days scheduled, of which 89 days (63%) are for NSF. With this proposal, Skidaway provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:Trace Element Clean Water Sampling System $166,871Bottle Sampling Space Infrastructure $7,449Year 2 Sampler Blank Analysis $8,305 $182,625 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.

请求为研究船 Savannah 的海洋学仪器提供资金，这是一艘 92 英尺长的沿海研究船，由斯基德威海洋学研究所拥有和运营，作为学术研究船队 (ARF) 的一部分。该船的主要工作区域是美国东南部的大陆架、沿海和河口环境。该船还进行了穿越墨西哥湾流进入马尾藻海西部以及加勒比海东南部库拉索岛的巡航。 R/V Savannah 经过专门设计，具有大型科学停泊能力，可为海洋和河口环境提供学习机会，并向多样化且经常服务不足的学生群体展示海洋学研究方法。 2019年，萨凡纳号R/V在海上航行了86天。 NSF资助的项目占总航行时间的15天（18%）。 2020年，该船目前计划航行142天，其中89天（63%）用于NSF。通过此提案，Skidaway 提供了收购以下海洋仪器的技术说明和理由：痕量元素清洁水采样系统 $166,871 瓶采样空间基础设施 $7,449 第二年采样器空白分析 $8,305 $182,625 更广泛的影响当前提案的主要影响正在进行优点审查提案指南 (NSF 19-602) 的标准 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。
