This $521,672 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences will support the purchase of oceanographic instrumentation for two research vessels operated by the University of Washington. Specifically, the funding will be used to acquire:

  1. A Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam system for the 72-foot R/V Rachael Carson coastal research vessel ($217,371)
  2. A Kongsberg EK80 echosounder system for the 274-foot R/V Thompson global class research vessel ($304,301)

This instrumentation will provide critical infrastructure support for NSF-funded oceanographic research projects conducted on these vessels as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. The broader impacts include enabling access to working, calibrated instruments for NSF-funded researchers from across the U.S., thereby reducing research costs and expanding the potential pool of researchers. The award aligns with NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed meritorious based on the agency's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
