Starfleet Science (also known as Science Ops or Office of Science Ops) is a division of Starfleet that is responsible for collecting and analyzing scientific data.
Starfleet Science was responsible for developing the theories used in creating the prototypes for the modified polaron emitters that were to be used to expose Gowron as a changeling. They believed that exposure to polaron radiation given off by these emitters would have a destabilizing effect on the changling's morphogenic matrix forcing him to revert to his natural state. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
In an alternate future timeline, Korena Sisko contacted Starfleet Science after Benjamin Sisko, who was trapped in a temporal displacement, fell back into sync with normal time. They intended on sending a team to the Sisko's home as soon as they could, but Benjamin fell back out of sync with normal time before they arrived. (DS9: "The Visitor")
