# IARPA
**Entity class:** Concept or analytic term
**Domain:** Intelligence research institution
**Doc Type:** Developed Wiki Node
**Maturity:** Developed
**Collection:** [[collections/Gamification|Gamification Collection]]
## Definition
The **Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA)** funds high-risk research for the U.S. intelligence community.
## Significance
Its forecasting programs demonstrate intelligence work organized through scored, auditable tournaments rather than secret intuition alone.
