2. 2 Non-profit, charitable trust Distributions that provide �the greatest good to humanity� Purposes: �Creative and research work� �Making of discoveries and inventions� �Education of men and women for employment� Governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Directors Battelle�s purposes, defined in the will of Gordon Battelle, focus on innovation Gordon Battelle, an Ohio industrialist, clearly saw R&D as a business He wanted to make American industry more competitive by applying the results of research to industrial problems He clearly foresaw the need for a connection between discovery and application of discovery He anticipated making a �profit� and specified that the returns from this innovation be shared with the stakeholders In creating a charitable trust, he envisioned treating the community as his shareholders He understood the foundational nature of education as a purpose In addition, with its founding in 1929, the first Trustees of Battelle foresaw the need for collaborative effort and established the concept of Battelle functioning in alliances with sponsors of research. Consequently they established Battelle as a resource that would work under contract to sponsors seeking innovation, and in so doing established the first generation of sponsored research in the United States. While this was initially an effort specifically for industry, as the Federal government became a major sponsor of research in the 1940�s Battelle was well positioned to become one of the major providers of research services at a time when the federal research establishment was just beginning to form.

3. 3 Today, Battelle fulfills its founding purposes through three business lines

4. 4 Battelle: World�s Largest Non-Profit R&D Organization Battelle is a global science and technology enterprise that develops products and solutions for customers, manages laboratories, and commercializes technology. We�ve been headquartered in Columbus, Ohio for more than 75 years. Including the national labs we manage or co-manage, Battelle oversees 20,000 staff members and conducts $3.9 billion in annual research and development at more than 100 locations around the world. Battelle is organized into three distinct segments: Research and Development � called Battelle Science and Technology International � in which we apply science and technology to challenges in areas like homeland defense, national security, health and life sciences, and energy, environment, and transportation; Laboratory Operations � which includes the five national labs we manage or co-manage for the U.S. Department of Energy (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Brookhaven National Laboratory; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; National Renewable Energy Laboratory; and Idaho National Laboratory); and Battelle Ventures � which helps move technology into the marketplace and develops spin-out ventures as part of our overall business portfolio.Battelle is a global science and technology enterprise that develops products and solutions for customers, manages laboratories, and commercializes technology.

5. 5 PNNL in the DOE National Laboratory System The U.S. Department of Energy�s science and technology resources are impressive, with 24 national laboratories and technology centers conducting a wide range of research and development activities. Of the 24 facilities, there are nine large, multi-program national laboratories located in seven states. The DOE Office of Science oversees work at five multi-program national laboratories: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, Wash. --Operated for DOE by Battelle Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Berkeley, Calif. --Operated for DOE by the University of California Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, Illinois --Operated for DOE by the University of Chicago Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge, Tennessee --Operated for DOE by UT-Battelle, LLC (Univ. of Tennessee & Battelle) Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton, New York --Operated for DOE by Brookhaven Science Associates (Stony Brook Univ. & Battelle) DOE�s National Nuclear Security Administration oversees work at three multiprogram laboratories: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, Calif. --Operated for DOE by the University of California Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM --Operated for DOE by the University of California Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque, NM �Operated for DOE by the Lockheed Martin Corporation DOE�s Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology has oversight responsibilities for the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory in Idaho Falls. INEEL is operated for DOE by Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC.The U.S. Department of Energy�s science and technology resources are impressive, with 24 national laboratories and technology centers conducting a wide range of research and development activities.

6. 6 Research and development on nanotechnology platforms works best through innovation alliances. We collaborate with universities, industry, and other organizations in support of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) and in response to industrial challenges and opportunities that will advance nanoscience and commercialize new products. Toward those ends, the Battelle Nanotechnology Innovation Alliance includes: The Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory; National Renewable Energy Laboratory; The Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at Oak Ridge National Laboratory; The ESML Interfacial and Nanoscale Science Facility at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Idaho National Laboratory; and Battelle�s R&D labs in Columbus, Ohio. The Alliance is succeeding on many fronts. For example, in 2005, the Alliance supported The Ohio State University, the University of Akron, and the University of Dayton to win a $22 million grant from the State of Ohio to establish what�s called the �Center for Multifunctional Polymer Nanomaterials and Devices.� Another collaboration with The Ohio State University resulted in an $11.6 million grant to establish the Ohio BioProducts Innovation Center. The Innovation Center is working with Battelle, the national labs, and the new nanotechnology center to create new materials solutions for the chemical and plastics industries using renewables like corn and soybeans. This year, the Battelle Nanotechnology Innovation Alliance is working with the University of Toledo, OSU, Bowling Green State University, the five national labs we manage or co-manage, and several companies to establish a �Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization� that is being designed to actively create alliances with other universities, federal labs and industry.Research and development on nanotechnology platforms works best through innovation alliances.
