NIJ FY 10 Forensic DNA Unit Efficiency Improvement Program

NIJ seeks applications from States and local governments for funding to identify and facilitate implementation of novel technologies resulting from ongoing research and development projects in the field of forensic DNA as well as in other fields such as molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology that may improve the capacity and/or efficiency of forensic DNA laboratories. Specifically, this program is designed to fund the incorporation of such novel technologies, through validation studies, into State and local government forensic laboratories that are currently performing DNA analysis.
