Lets add Infrastructure to list of candidates Catlett Charlie wrote:
e-Science name of a UK program, so too narrow
e-Research best not to define yet another new term which does not help communication (the point to choosing a word)
Cyberinfrastructure understood broadly in the US, but has a US centrism to it so perhaps too narrow
Science (in spirit of NSF which also does education and engineering) ok, maybe, if we are going for one word*
Research no*
* the trouble with one word is that it paints this group into an academic-only corner. I am tempted to suggest "Infrastructure" because this group in fact exists within a Grid-oriented organization and thus there is no need to clarify that we are talking e- or cyber- or grid.
If we are infrastructure then we are not tied exclusively to science (most companies, if they do any science, do very little), research (despite similarities with corporate research, this paints an academic club picture), or some particular made-up buzzword like e-Science or cyberinfrastructure.

We are trying to find one word! The full title can (and at one time did) have Research and Development in it

I would prefer something that sounds a bit less pure research or Ivory Tower. Some of what will be covered could also be done in a development environment or the research side of a corporation. Also by dropping cyberinfrastructure the link to infrastructure disappears.

I vote for Science - exactly for the reason Geoffrey has mentioned.
Research isn’t as broad, and is often set as opposed to education (hence Research and Education networks)
e-Science and e-Research are trendy, but already have baggage associated.
I like cyberinfrastructure, but is too broad and covers a huge range of disciplines, tools, and so forth.
