Some laboratories offer use of their instruments free of charge to external users as long as the results are openly published. Some ARIF at federal intramural research centers are open for use, with fees charged for external use; others are not shared.

With regard to the definition of ARIF, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory noted that "research instrumentation should be broadened to include capacity computing. Simulation is becoming a third leg of the scientific enterprise along with theory and experiment." RELATIONSHIP WITH UNIVERSITIES A number of national laboratories described close relationship with university researchers, and several noted the importance of staff.

Our challenges are mainly geographic and cost of operations in Alaska and the Arctic oceans. No instrumentation with capital cost greater than $2 million is likely to be needed in the future." Alaska Fisheries Science Center Supporting Agency/Agencies: NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service "DOE/BES dedicated $1.1 million in FY 2004 to our program for equipment purchases.

Simulation is becoming a third leg of the scientific enterprise along with theory and experiment. In addition to the very large supercomputers, smaller capacity computing centers are required to develop codes and run problems, which require fewer processors." Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory CASE STUDY -- OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY The ORNL performs research in neutron science, energy, high-performance computing, complex biologic systems, advanced materials, and national security.

Maxine Singer, is the only joint committee of the three honorific academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. Its overall charge is to address cross-cutting issues in science and technology policy that affect the health of the national research enterprise.
