This Department of Justice grant supports eligible entities in leveraging DNA technology to identify missing persons. The initiative is designed to assist states and local governments by funding DNA analysis of unidentified human remains and reference samples. A critical component is the requirement to enter all generated DNA profiles into the FBI’s National DNA Index System, specifically using CODIS version 7.0, thereby integrating data into a national database. Furthermore, recipients must input pertinent case details concerning unidentified remains into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), with a justification required if a case is not entered. This comprehensive approach enhances forensic capabilities and national collaboration to resolve missing persons cases.
