# Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity
**Domain:** Austin Research / Institutions
**Doc Type:** Research entity
**Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope.
The **Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA)** is the [[wiki/Office of the Director of National Intelligence|ODNI]] research organization supporting advanced technologies for intelligence problems. The supporting history traces its establishment in the post-9/11 intelligence-integration environment.
In this cluster, Odin addresses biometric authenticity; MOSAIC addresses multimodal human-state sensing; the [[wiki/Functional Map of the World|Functional Map of the World]] challenge addresses imagery interpretation. These programs address different stages of machine perception and evaluation.
The individual programs have their own scopes, performers, and evidence. IARPA’s role is an advanced-research interface, while operational transition and use must be established separately for each capability.
