- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences provides $202,525 to the University of Hawaii under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to purchase oceanographic instrumentation for the R/V Kilo Moana research vessel. Specifically, the funding will be used to acquire an OS38 ADCP for $188k, a GP oceanographic winch for $305k, and a sound velocity profiler for $14k. This shared-use equipment will support NSF-funded oceanographic research projects by allowing...
This $256,439 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds shipboard scientific support equipment for the R/V Hugh R. Sharp, a 146-foot regional research vessel operated by the University of Delaware. The funding will replace the vessel's main crane, allowing it to continue serving scientists from many institutions throughout the mid-Atlantic region in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects. By maintaining shared-use instrumentation, this award facilitates access to working, calibrated instruments for NSF researchers at any U.S. university or lab, reducing individual research costs and expanding the potential pool of researchers. The period of performance is from March 15, 2022 to July 31, 2023.
