This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
The purpose of this proposal is to continue funding for the Forensic Technologies Center of Excellence sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs', National Institute of Justice (NIJ). In FY2007 a competitive, peer-reviewed award was made to the National Forensic Science Technology Center (NFSTC) as a cooperative agreement with NIJ to form and administer the first ever Forensic Technologies Center of Excellence (FTCoE). NIJ's objective for the FTCoE was, and continues to be, the facilitation of the adoption of new tools and technologies into practice by criminal justice agencies through testing, evaluation, and the provision of technology assistance. NFSTC has successfully led the FTCoE through its initial establishment and has provided scientific and technical support to NIJ's research and development efforts; supporting the demonstration, transfer, and adoption of appropriate technology into practice by law enforcement and corrections agencies, courts, and public crime laboratories; assisting in the development and dissemination of technology guidelines and standards; and providing technology assistance, information, and support to law enforcement and other appropriate criminal justice agencies.
