Amid a rise in threats to international semiconductor supply chains, the Brooks Tech Policy Institute (BTPI) has received $3 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Defense to establish the U.S. Semiconductor Research Hub, which will work to assess and improve the resilience of the global interconnected network of semiconductor infrastructure.

Sarah Kreps, the founding director of BTPI in the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the John L. Wetherill Professor in the Department of Government in the College of Arts and Sciences, will lead the work, the objective of which is to anticipate and mitigate future threats.
