      <MissionDescription>Generally, SURA's purposes are to serve as an entity by which colleges, universities and other organizations may cooperate with one another and with government in acquiring, developing, and using laboratories, and other research facilities; and, to initiate and participate in collaborative research in the physical, biological, and other natural sciences and engineering. Specifically, this includes the design, construction, management, and operations of the Jefferson Lab; and the collaborations to propose, and subsequently conduct, scientific research under federal agency sponsorship.</MissionDescription>

      <Description>SURA was established in 1980 as a nonprofit association of a small group of research universities with the objective of proffering a plan for the construction of a national continuous electron beam accelerator facility (CEBAF). Ultimately, SURA was selected in a national competition by the DOE to design, build, and operate CEBAF as an experimental nuclear physics facility in Newport News, Virginia. Today, SURA has over 60 member universities in the US and Canada and is organized to promote cooperative activities for scientific and engineering purposes, to foster excellence in scientific research, to strengthen the scientific and technical capabilities of the nation, and to provide training opportunities for scientists and engineers. CEBAF, renamed the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, or Jefferson Lab, is one of the DOE Office of Science's ten national laboratories. SURA has been responsible for the management and operations (M&amp;O) contract for the Jefferson lab since it was selected in 1983 in a national competition. SURA partnered with CSC/Applied Technologies to form Jefferson Science Associates, LLC (JSA), which was competitively awarded the contract for the management and operations of the Jefferson Lab in April 2006. As the M&amp;O contractor, JSA has oversight responsibility for Jefferson Lab operations including over 700 employees, $100 million annual operating budget, and $400 million in facility upgrades that will double the accelerator's energy and provide a new technology and engineering center that involves the addition of approximately 100,000 SF of industrial assembly, laboratory, and office space and renovation of the existing production facility. JSA is organized as a limited liability company and is governed by an operating agreement that restricts activities exclusively to those having charitable, scientific, and educational purposes and a primary mission to perform the DOE Jefferson Lab M&amp;O contract. SURA is the 60% majority owner and controlling administrative and tax member of JSA, and CSC/Applied Technologies is the 40% minority member. As part of JSA's M&amp;O responsibilities, SURA provides oversight of the scientific mission of the Jefferson Lab with assistance from faculty experts from its members and other universities. SURA also operates a 42-room guest house on its property adjacent to the Jefferson Lab campus. The SURA Residence Facility was originally constructed in partnership with the City of Newport News. The guest house accommodates visiting scientists, researchers, and students who need temporary housing while conducting their research at the Lab. In addition to its work with the Jefferson Lab, SURA directs intramural scientific research activities through collaborations with its member universities, government agencies, and other researchers working to advance and exploit the transformative nature of information technology on the regional, national and international fronts, and facilitating a better understanding of coastal, ocean and environmental phenomena that plays a prominent role in our lives.</Description>
