The LSST will have enormous scientific impact on areas ranging from Earth-crossing asteroids to the most distant quasars, from the structure of the Milky Way halo to the distribution of dark matter on the largest scales and the nature of dark energy. To maximize the scientific potential of the survey, we have formed 11 so-called "Science Collaborations," with membership from LSST member institutions and the broader scientific community, which are preparing the tools needed to carry out their science once LSST data start to flow. They also represent advocates for their science areas, giving input to decisions about filter design, survey cadence, image processing algorithms, and database structure. Finally, they are playing a key role in testing the LSST software, and in planning for commissioning the telescope and system. Outside LSST member institutions, membership in the science collaborations is via application; there is a annual call for applications from the astronomy and physics community administered by NOAO. There is also the opportunity to propose new science collaborations.
