Office of Science Strategic Plan20 Year Goals

• ITER for Fusion Energy Provide the enduring
  solution to our Nations energy challenge,
  conducting the burning plasma experiment that
  will bring fusion energy within reach as a
  commercial source of clean, abundant energy.
• Scientific Discovery through Advanced Scientific
  Computing Expand the broad frontiers of
  scientific discovery through the power of
  advanced computation.
• Nanoscale Science for New Materials and
  Processes Master the ability to construct
  revolutionary new materials and
  processesatom-by-atom and build upon Natures
  self-assembling techniques.
• Taming the Microbial Worldthe Next Revolution in
  Genomics Harness microbial genomes and the
  molecular machines of life for energy, the
  environment, and human health.
• Dark Energy and the Search for the Genesis
  Illuminate the basic forces of creation and the
  origins of matter, energy, space, and time.
• Nuclear Matter at the Extremes Explore new forms
  of nuclear matter at high-energy densities and at
  the extreme limits of stability.
• Facilities for the Future of Science Deliver the
  high-priority facilities over the next 20 years
  that support DOEs and the Nations research.

  by NASA and DOE. RD continues on SNAP.
• Linac Coherent Light Source RD and conceptual
  design under way funding for long-lead
  procurement in FY2005 budget.
• Protein Production and Tags Facility RD under
  way. Project engineering and design funding in
  FY05 budget.
• Rare Isotope Accelerator RD under way.
  Request for Proposal to be issued in December.
• Transmission Electron Achromatic Microscope RD
  and conceptual design under way.

Laboratories for the Future of Science

• SC is developing a document highlighting the
  unique role and importance of the DOE Office of
  Science (SC) Laboratories to the future of
  science. 
• It will sketch the future of each laboratory and
  outline some of the major challenges that the
  laboratory complex faces. 
• The document will reflect DOE's vision for the
  future of the SC laboratories.
• Due this Fall.
