NIJ is seeking proposals for the development and delivery of sexual assault examination training programs related to the identification, collection, preservation, analysis, and use of DNA evidence with the goal of increasing the availability of educational opportunities provided at no direct cost to medical personnel, victim service providers, forensic science practitioners, and other professionals involved in treating victims of sexual assault. NIJ is also seeking...

NIJ seeks applications for funding for research, development, and evaluation leading to the adoption of new location-based information systems to improve the effective management of offenders under supervision in the community.

NIJ seeks proposals for the operation of the Criminal Justice Electronic Crime Technology Center of Excellence, a component of the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center System. The Center conducts testing, evaluation, technology assistance programs and other services with regard to tools and technologies intended for use by law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies to combat electronic crime.

NIJ seeks proposals for the operation of a Sensor, Surveillance, and Biometric Technologies Center of Excellence. The Center, which will be a component of the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center System, will conduct testing, evaluation, technology assistance programs, and other services related to sensors and biometrics technologies applied to criminal justice application.

NIJ seeks applications for funding to develop solutions that will improve the ability of mobile (handheld) computing devices to deliver information to the officer at the scene.

NIJ seeks proposals for solutions applying modeling and simulation technology to enhance criminal justice training through the use of virtual environments. Proposed solutions must identify and take into account legal, cultural, and social factors as well as policies, practices and procedures in order to create an as near to reality a training environment as possible. NIJ is willing to consider applications for the development of...

NIJ seeks applications for funding for research and development of improved technologies for the investigation of electronic crime and recovery of digital evidence.

NIJ seeks applications for funding to develop alternatives to conducted energy less-lethal devices for law enforcement and corrections applications.

NIJ seeks qualified applicants for funding to develop effective solutions to provide law enforcement agencies with the ability to continue to communicate effectively (via voice, video, data, or other means), at the data rates necessary to conduct law enforcement operation, in (1) the absence of an adequate operating communications infrastructure and/or (2) in the presence of multiple, overlapping communications infrastructures with varying attributes.

NIJ seeks applications for fund for research and development of technology to help state and local law enforcement agencies better manage high speed vehicular pursuits. Vehicular pursuits represent a significant challenge for law enforcement agencies, in part because safe and effective vehicle immobilizing technology tools are not commercially available, and because pursuit outcomes may involve property damage, human injury and loss of life and potential...

NIJ seeks proposals for research and development to enhance the forensic uses of DNA technology, with a focus on technologies that result in faster, more robust, more informative, less costly or less labor-intensive identification, collection, preservation and analysis of biological evidence. In FY 2010, priority will be given to research that focuses on general improvements to the "front end" of the forensic DNA analysis process...
