Chemistry Division at LANL

Many of the research and development projects in the division span several groups and divisions, and a number of them involve partnerships with academia, industry, or both. Our annual budget of approximately $95 million comes from a diverse set of program offices within the Laboratory. These offices focus on nuclear weapons, threat reduction, homeland security, science, applied energy, and environment. They serve as the interfaces with program elements of the Department of Energy and other federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Agriculture.
