Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to continue managing and operating Brookhaven National Laboratory under a new five-year base contract. Established as a partnership between Battelle and Stony Brook University, BSA has managed Brookhaven Lab since 1998.

“We’re delighted to have been chosen to lead Brookhaven Lab into its next phase of scientific achievement, and deeply appreciate the Department of Energy’s confidence in BSA going forward,” said Doon Gibbs, BSA president and Brookhaven Lab Director. “We’ve come a long way as a Laboratory during the past 16 years and believe BSA has an exciting, compelling vision for the next 20. We very much look forward to working with the Department of Energy; Stony Brook and Battelle; the core BSA universities, including Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton and Yale; the State of New York; our regional partners; and our thousands of employees and visiting researchers to make that vision a reality.”

“Brookhaven National Laboratory is a prestigious research institution that is helping to drive the future of science and technology in New York,” Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said. “The selection of Brookhaven Science Associates to continue operating the Lab underscores the fundamental role they play not just in Long Island’s economy, but throughout our world in fields ranging from medicine to renewable energy. New York State and Stony Brook University have been long-time partners with the Lab, and I look forward to seeing that partnership continue to support the best and brightest minds around in the years ahead.”

The new contract begins on January 5, 2015, and has a base term of five years, with up to 15 additional years that can be earned through award-term incentives.
