The IT-Division will directly improve the strength of science at LBNL, from experimental design through results verification and reproducibility, through an integrated, efficient Science Services organization.  The main Science-IT program is called Science Accelerator.

Science Service Objectives:

• Create, Grow, Deploy, and Sustain a high-value Science IT consulting capability, consisting of highly qualified staff, effective engagement program management, cutting edge portal capabilities, and innovative methods to find and fulfill the needs of Laboratory scientists.
   
• Create, Grow, Deploy and Sustain scientific data management, storage, and orchestration capabilities supporting both the needs of scientific programs across the science activity lifecycle, and the long-term interests of the Laboratory as a central hub for global science data and research results.
   
• Grow, Deploy and Sustain access to flexible, affordable, useful compute capabilities tailored to the needs of scientists who may in future, but currently do not, or cannot, use national compute resources. These compute capabilities may be provided through a mixture of onsite resources, or expertise easing use of offsite commercial resources, as needed by the customer.
