Agency Name: National Institute of Justice
Description: NIJ seeks qualified applicants to conduct research to improve the understanding of the accuracy, reliability, and measurement validity of the forensic science disciplines (specific disciplines stated below). In this solicitation, the term “validity” refers to the extent of the truth of an inference based upon scientific measurement. In other words, what is the extent to which relevant scientific evidence supports an inference as being true or correct? This solicitation does not address subjective, qualitative, or legal analyses of validity.
