# Sandia National Laboratories
**Domain:** Austin Research / Laboratories
**Doc Type:** Research entity
**Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope.
**Sandia National Laboratories** is one of the national laboratories named in UT’s 2020 [[wiki/Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program|PSAAP]] III/PECOS collaboration, alongside the other [[wiki/National Nuclear Security Administration|NNSA]] laboratory partners.
Its role in this cluster is the research interface between university [[wiki/Predictive Science|predictive science]] and national-laboratory simulation needs. The award combines exascale methods, physical experiments, and assessment of predictive reliability.
The specific collaboration is the supported relationship here. It links [[wiki/PECOS|PECOS]] to the national predictive-science environment without assigning every later Oden application to the same laboratory mission.
