National
Laboratories
The Office of Science is the steward
of 10 national laboratories that support the
missions of its science programs. The national
laboratory system, created over a half-century
ago, represents the most comprehensive research
system of its kind in the world. These laboratories
perform research and development that is not
well suited to university or private sector
research facilities because of its scope, infrastructure,
or multidisciplinary nature, but for which there
is a strong public and national purpose.
A high level of collaboration
among all of the national laboratories in the
use of world-class scientific equipment and
supercomputers, facilities, and multidisciplinary
teams of scientists increases their collective
contribution to DOE and the Nation, making the
laboratory system more valuable as a whole than
as the sum of its parts.
The Office of Science oversees
these 10 national laboratories:
· Ames
