The University of Washington received a $186,202 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to acquire shipboard scientific support equipment for two of the university's research vessels, the R/V Thomas G. Thompson and the R/V Rachel Carson. The specific equipment to be purchased includes a liquid nitrogen generator, two new winches, and a science water still for the Thompson, to support NSF-funded oceanographic research projects conducted from these vessels. In 2023, the Thompson is scheduled for 315 total days, with 180 (57%) dedicated to NSF-funded research, while the Carson is scheduled for 68 days, 27 (40%) of which are for NSF projects. This award provides critical infrastructure and shared-use instrumentation to enable scientists across the U.S. to access the university's research vessels and equipment, reducing the costs and expanding the potential for NSF-funded oceanographic research.
