Research
IARPA's collaboration with Intelligence Community (IC) partners ensures our ability to address cross-agency challenges, leveraging both operational and research and development expertise from across the IC.
Office of Analysis
Analysis focuses on maximizing insights from the massive, disparate, unreliable, and dynamic data that are—or could be—available to analysts, in a timely manner.
Office of Collection
Collection aims to improve the value of collected data by developing new sensor and transmission technologies, collection techniques that more precisely target desired information, and means for collecting from previously inaccessible sources.
About IARPA
IARPA's mission is to push the boundaries of science to develop solutions that empower the Intelligence Community and ensure more robust support to national security. We also facilitate the transition of research results to our IC customers for operational application.
