The University of Miami proposes to provide fleetwide operational support for the various X-band radars that exist in the Academic Research Fleet (ARF). Although this proposal was submitted to the Oceanographic Instrumentation Program, it will be considered under Oceanographic Technical Services (OTS) which is more appropriate. There are salaries involved, and the proposal follows the model of centers of expertise throughout the fleet that provide specialized support for a particular discipline (e.g., ADCP, MAC, R2R, etc.). All these centers are funded through OTS. This is a proposal for a 3-year continuing grant. The Program will recommend the initiation of a pilot program to pursue the goals outlined in the proposal. Continued support for Armstrong and the addition of Sikuliaq to the project are the starting points. The goal is ultimately to expand the support to all vessels in the ARF that have these radars. The first year will be recommended at proposed levels. It will be a 3-year continuing grant with the outyear funding being negotiated with the Program based on the receipt of the annual report. The Program recommends an award of $292,547 for the first year.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.

迈阿密大学建议为学术研究机队（ARF）中存在的各种X波段雷达提供舰队的运营支持。尽管该提案已提交到海洋学仪器计划中，但将在海洋技术服务（OTS）下考虑，这更合适。涉及薪水，该提案遵循整个车队中专业知识中心的模型，为特定学科（例如ADCP，Mac，R2R等）提供了专门的支持。所有这些中心都是通过OT资助的。这是为期3年的持续赠款的提案。该计划将建议启动试点计划，以追求提案中概述的目标。持续支持阿姆斯特朗（Armstrong），并在项目中加入Sikuliaq是起点。目标最终是将支撑扩大到具有这些雷达的ARF中的所有船只。建议在拟议的水平上推荐第一年。这将是一项为期3年的持续赠款，根据收到年度报告，与该计划协商了Outyear的资金。该计划建议第一年授予292,547美元的奖励。Broader在提案指南（NSF 19-602）的优点审查标准2下，影响本提案的主要影响。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。
