Texas A&M University proposes to continue the management of the pool of marine technicians that has been operating since 2016 for a further five-year period. Pool members will continue to be employedas independent contractors, paid at rates based on experience as determined by the NSF ProgramManager and UNOLS Technical Services Manager. Coverage for liability and workmen’s’ compensation insurance will be continued through separate contracts as is done at present and issimilar to those used for technicians with the IODP. Included are provisions for training thosepool members who will be working more than 100 days per year, and the proposal containsestimates for travel to and from ships and for the training and the annual RVTEC meeting. Liaison between TAMU, UNOLS and chief scientists will ensure that technicians with the correct skill set will be available for cruises as needed.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.

得克萨斯州农工大学的建议将继续管理自2016年以来一直运行的海洋技术库的管理。泳池成员将继续是Imployeas独立承包商，根据NSF ProgramManager和UNOLS技术服务经理确定的经验，以费率支付。责任的承保范围和工人的薪酬保险将通过目前的单独合同继续，并且与IODP的技术人员使用的合同相关。其中包括培训那些将每年工作超过100天工作的侍酒店成员的规定，该提案包含往返船只的旅行以及培训和年度RVTEC会议的速度。 TAMU，UNOLS和首席科学家之间的联络人将确保根据需要进行正确技能的技术人员进行巡航。Broader在提案指南（NSF 19-602）的优点审查标准下，本提案的主要影响在本提案的主要影响下。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，并以基础知识的优点和广泛的评估来评估，并以评估的支持为CRACTIAS CRADIA，并被认为是宝贵的。
