Advancing the Statistical Interpretation of Forensic DNA Data Samples
Key questions have arisen about how DNA data are to be interpreted statistically. Two NIJ grants have supported research that has far-reaching implications for testing hypotheses using DNA evidence and expressing confidence in the conclusions reached.
Data from the DNA Capacity Enhancement and Backlog Reduction (CEBR) Grant Program
Program Moved
This program was transferred to the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Learn more about the program on BJA.ojp.gov.
The goal of NIJ's DNA Capacity Enhancement for Backlog Reduction (CEBR) program is to assist States and units of local government with existing crime laboratories to increase the capacity of publicly funded forensic DNA and DNA database laboratories to process more DNA samples, thereby helping...
