The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is offering this grant to support applied research and development projects in forensic science for criminal justice purposes. This initiative seeks proposals that will either increase critical knowledge to guide forensic science policy and practice, or result in the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods with significant forensic application potential. This grant is specifically for directing findings from basic scientific research, broader scientific fields, and ongoing forensic science research. The core purpose is to develop highly discriminating, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, and rapid methods for the identification, analysis, and interpretation of physical evidence for criminal justice needs.
