OpportunityTitle: NIJ FY 16 Research and Development in Forensic Science for Criminal Justice Purposes
Description: NIJ is seeking proposals for basic or applied research and development projects that will: (1) increase the body of knowledge to guide and inform forensic science policy and practice, or (2) result in the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods that have the potential for forensic application. The intent of this program is to direct the findings of basic scientific research, research and development in broader scientific fields applicable to forensic science, and ongoing forensic science research toward the development of highly discriminating, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, and rapid methods for the identification, analysis, and interpretation of physical evidence for criminal justice purposes. The operational needs and requirements discussed at NIJ&#8217;s 2015 Forensic Science Technology Working Group (TWG) meeting may be found at the following link and are intended to assist you in your proposal development: http://www.nij.gov/topics/forensics/pages/forensic-operational-requirements.aspx
