The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is offering this grant to enhance the response to sexual assault cases through improved forensic training. This grant is for two primary purposes: firstly, to fund the development and delivery of new, no-cost training programs focusing on the identification, collection, preservation, analysis, and utilization of DNA evidence in sexual assault examinations. These programs aim to educate medical personnel, victim service providers, forensic science practitioners, and other key professionals. Secondly, the grant seeks applications for the delivery and evaluation of existing sexual assault examination training programs. The goal of this evaluation is to assess their impact on criminal justice case processing and victim engagement within the system, ultimately improving the effectiveness of justice in these sensitive cases.
