Sandia and University of Texas System to sign memorandum of understanding
The five-year agreement states that UT System will develop, perform, and be accountable for the peer review process of the Sandia Assurance System for Science, Technology and Engineering. A newly designated UT System position on the Sandia Board of Directors will oversee technical reviews working through a new subcommittee of the Mission Committee of the Sandia board.
Another key aspect of the MOU will add to ongoing Sandia/UT System activities by undertaking joint technical research projects and collaborations that take advantage of complementary competencies in simulation engineering, high-energy density physics, sustainable energy security for the nation's transportation infrastructure, and health security.
The agreement calls for Sandia and the UT System to use joint appointments so Sandia scientists can serve as staff for graduate programs at UT institutions and UT faculty, staff and students can have long-term involvement in Sandia research programs. UT System also plans to use professors from its several institutions to provide both on-site and distance education courses to Sandia personnel.
