This grant is for the purpose of enhancing forensic science and medical examiner/coroner services across states and local governments. Offered by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grants Program provides formula funding specifically to state administering agencies (SAAs). The primary goal is to improve the capabilities of forensic science laboratories operated by states and units of local government. This particular solicitation is exclusively for SAAs seeking formula funds, distinct from the competitive funds available under a separate BJA solicitation. Eligible applicants should focus on proposals that directly address critical improvements in forensic analysis and related services to bolster the justice system.
