Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) works with
other national laboratories to coordinate and integrate
programmatic efforts to provide
the best scientific and technical capabilities for public
investments. Increasingly, collaborative activities are
in the form of integrated national programs, such as NNSA’s
Stockpile Stewardship Program.
A notable example of multi-laboratory
efforts is the DOE Joint Genome Institute
(JGI),
managed by the University of California and located in
Walnut Creek, California. The JGI was created in 1997
to unite
the expertise and resources in genome mapping, DNA sequencing,
technology development, and information sciences pioneered
at Lawrence Livermore, Lawrence Berkeley, and Los
Alamos national
laboratories.
LLNL participates in many other
multi-laboratory efforts sponsored by the DOE
Office of Science,
ranging from large high-energy physics projects to
the Genomics:GTL
program.
