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.
