The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is offering this grant to enhance DNA processing capacity and reduce backlogs in forensic and DNA database laboratories. This grant is for states and units of local government that have existing crime laboratories capable of conducting DNA analysis. Its primary purpose is to help these labs process more DNA samples, facilitate their entry into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), and ultimately prevent or reduce the current backlog of DNA samples awaiting analysis. The funding aims to increase the overall efficiency and throughput of publicly funded forensic DNA and DNA database laboratories nationwide, ensuring timely processing of critical evidence.
