Brookhaven Science Associates

Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) was established for the sole purpose of managing and operating Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Formed as a 50-50 partnership betweenBattelle and TheResearch Foundation of State University of New York (SUNY) on behalf ofStony Brook University (SBU), BSA is the legal entity responsible for leading BNL successfully through the 21st century.  

Both SBU and Battelle are strongly motivated to ensure Brookhaven's success. Being Brookhaven's closest university neighbor, SBU is the single largest user of BNL facilities; BNL facilities and scientific staff are essential to the vitality of the university's intellectual life and to the impact of many of its research programs.

A presence at Brookhaven enables Battelle to continue and advance its founding purpose "science in service to humanity," and to enhance the research partnership between Battelle and Brookhaven in major programs ranging from global climate research to nanoscience.

BSA Board of Directors

BSA is governed by a 16-member Board of Directors: Five appointed by the Research Foundation, five by Battelle, and one each from six of the nation's premier research universities:Columbia ,Cornell,Harvard,Massachusetts Institute of Technology,Princeton, andYale.

The Board is responsible for:

• Setting overall Laboratory policy and direction (seeScience & Technology Steering Committee);
• Conducting an annual review of overall contract performance;
• Conducting independent corporate self assessments; and
• Providing advice and assistance to the Laboratory Director on significant scientific, technical, or management issues.

Ronald D. Townsend is the current chair of the BSA board.

The BSA Board will be supported by several committees, including the Scientific & Technology Steering Committee, which will commission peer reviews of BNL's programs and scientific facilities, and advise the Board on scientific direction, user facility operation, and management and policy matters that directly affect the Laboratory's science mission.

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. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
