The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is offering this grant to enhance forensic science education and research within the criminal justice system. This grant is for two primary purposes: firstly, to expand no-cost educational opportunities for personnel in public crime laboratories and practitioners in forensic science disciplines. It also aims to provide essential forensic science training to other relevant criminal justice partners, including professionals involved in treating victims of sexual assault. Secondly, the funding will support targeted research into the effectiveness and nature of both formal and informal forensic science training programs currently employed by the forensic science community at the State and local levels. This initiative seeks to improve the quality and accessibility of forensic science expertise nationwide.
