Southeastern Universities Research Association, Inc.

The Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) was established in 1980 by a small group of research universities to bid on the construction of a national Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). SURA and its 23 member universities were subsequently selected by a joint Department of Energy-National Science Foundation committee to design, build and operate what the Washington Post described in 1983 as "the most advanced experimental nuclear physics facility in the world."

SURA consists of over 60 member universities and CEBAF is now known as the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab). SURA continues to operate the Jefferson Lab for the U.S. Department of Energy through Jefferson Science Associates, LLC, a SURA/Computer Sciences Corporation joint venture. SURA also operates the SURA Residence Facility, guest house to accommodate national and international researchers who come to use Jefferson Lab's unique facilities.
