This award provides funds to the Marine Sediment Sampling (MARSSAM) Facility for the purchase of a new customized refrigerated laboratory van and a new light four-core multicorer. The van would be for multiple use and suitable for processing multi-core and other seafloor sediment and water samples. It will be outfitted with sediment and porewater equipment and a self-contained autonomous Nitrogen generator. The van and multicorer would be jointly managed and maintained by MARSSAM and the West Coast Van Pool. They would be made available to research teams working on U.S. Academic Research Fleet (ARF) vessels including smaller vessels with limited deck space. This aquisition is in response to increased demand by the community for such a facility not covered by existing equipment in the pool. The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 23-525). 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 other organization access to well-maintained, high-quality, calibrated instruments for their research. It ensures the collection of high-quality oceanographic data in support of science, reduces the cost of that research, and expands 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.

该奖项为海洋沉积物采样（MARSSAM）设施提供了资金，用于购买新的定制冷藏实验室面包车和新的轻型四核型号。该货车将用于多种用途，适合处理多核和其他海底沉积物和水样。它将配备有沉积物和孔隙水设备以及独立的自动氮发生器。货车和多招手将由Marssam和West Coast Van Pool共同管理和维护。它们将被提供给从事美国学术研究机队（ARF）船只的研究团队，包括甲板空间有限的较小船只。这种育种是对社区对这种设施不受现有设备未涵盖的设施的需求增加的回应。 本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南的优异审查标准（NSF 23-525）。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）。共享用途仪器的采集，维护和运营使NSF资助的任何大学或其他组织的NSF资助的研究人员都可以访问其研究良好，高质量，校准的工具。它确保收集高质量的海洋学数据以支持科学，降低了该研究的成本，并扩大了潜在的研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的。
