Background/History of the Laboratory:
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.
Established in 1947 on Long Island, Upton, N.Y., Brookhaven is a multi- program national laboratory
operated
by Brookhaven Science Associates for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Six Nobel Prizes have been
awarded for discoveries made at the Lab. Brookhaven has a staff of approximately 3,000 scientists, engineers,
technicians and support staff and over 4,000 guest researchers annually. Brookhaven National Laboratory's
role for the DOE is to produce excellent science and advanced technology with the cooperation, support,
and
appropriate involvement of our scientific and local communities.
Mission of the Laboratory:
The fundamental elements of the Laboratory's role in support
of the four DOE strategic missions are the
following:
-
To conceive, design, construct, and operate
complex, leading edge, user-oriented facilities in response
to the needs of the DOE and the international community of users.
- To carry out basic and applied research in long-term,
high-risk programs at the frontier of science.
- To develop advanced technologies that address national
needs and to transfer them to other
organizations and to the commercial sector.
- To disseminate technical knowledge, to educate new generations
of scientists and engineers, to
maintain technical capabilities in the nation's workforce, and to encourage scientific awareness in
the
general public.
