This grant from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is for supporting applied research and development projects focused on forensic science for criminal justice purposes. The primary aim is to advance knowledge and understanding to guide forensic science policy and practice, or to produce innovative materials, devices, systems, or methods with potential forensic application. Specifically, the program seeks to translate findings from basic scientific research and broader R&D into highly discriminating, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, and rapid methods for identifying, analyzing, and interpreting physical evidence. Ultimately, this initiative enhances the tools available for criminal justice applications.
