NIJ FY 09 Electronic Crime and Digital Evidence Recovery: Invited Full Proposals
NIJ is seeking applications for funding to research, develop, and demonstrate emerging electronic investigative/forensic and digital evidence recovery technology solutions for law enforcement agencies. Specific areas of interest include cell phone forensics tools, digital evidence forensic examination tools, and computer crime investigative tools.
NIJ FY 09 Biometrics Technologies: Invited Full Proposals
NIJ is seeking applications for funding the development and demonstration of a mobile, wireless device for law enforcement application capable of the simultaneous capture of four fingerprints in a manner compliant with the relevant sections of the draft "Mobile ID Device Best Practices Recommendations and Specifications (May 5, 2008)", to include data encryption. NIJ is especially interested in research and development proposals for technology to identify or verify the identity of a person in the field.
NIJ FY 09 Postconviction DNA Testing Assistance Program
NIJ is seeking applications from States wishing to receive funding to help defray the costs associated with postconviction DNA testing of forcible rape, murder, and nonnegligent manslaughter cases in which actual innocence might be demonstrated. Funds may be used to review such postconviction cases and to locate and analyze biological evidence associated with these cases.
NIJ FY 09 Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program
The Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grants Program (the Coverdell program) awards grants to States and units of local government to help improve the quality and timeliness of forensic science and medical examiner services. Among other things, funds may be used to eliminate a backlog in the analysis of forensic evidence and to train and employ forensic laboratory personnel, as needed, to eliminate such a backlog. States may apply for both "base" (formula) and competitive funds. Units of local government may apply for competitive funds.

NIJ FY 09 Solving Cold Cases with DNA
NIJ seeks applications from States and units of local government for funding to identify, review, and investigate "violent crime cold cases" that have the potential to be solved using DNA analysis and to locate and analyze biological evidence associated with these cases. Experience has shown that cold case programs can solve a substantial number of violent crime cold cases, including homicides and sexual assaults. Advances in DNA technologies have substantially increased the successful DNA analysis of aged, degraded, limited or otherwise compromised biological evidence.
