One
of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the
Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven
National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical,
and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and
national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major
scientific facilities available to university, industry and government
researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office
of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability
company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic
user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied
science and technology organization.
