Science with a Mission

The MOU was signed by (left) retired Navy Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Jr., Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator, and DOE Under Secretary for Science Dr. Raymond L. Orbach.

The Department of Energy's Office of Science is heir to the revolutionary work of Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, and E.O. Lawrence. The Office of Science makes history every day because we sustain their tradition of innovative basic scientific research that improves people's lives. As testimony to the high quality and impact of the research DOE underwrites, more than 80 Nobel Laureates have been supported by or affiliated with the Department of Energy and its predecessor agencies. The Office of Science has a vital tradition of funding fundamental research that focuses on critical national challenges - and produces important scientific breakthroughs and contributes to our Nation's well-being.
