As this approach reveals, it is no accident that Intel’s research organization today is run by David Tennenhouse. Tennenhouse used to manage research programs at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA directed the research activities of numerous disparate research organizations and linked them into powerful research programs for the U.S. military. By many accounts, DARPA performed this role very effectively. And DARPA did this coordination without its own central laboratory. Intel hopes to apply much of the DARPA model to accessing, influencing, and coordinating university research for industrial purposes.
