Expanding Research to Examine the Impacts of Forensic Science on the Criminal Justice System
December 2020
In 2004, the National Institute of Justice created the social science research on forensic sciences (SSRFS) research program to explore the impact of forensic sciences on the criminal justice system and the administration of justice. Much of the early research from the SSRFS program focused on DNA processing and the use of DNA in investigations and prosecutions.

Realignment of Forensic Capacity Enhancement Programs within the Office of Justice Programs
The Office of Justice Programs has realigned the forensic science capacity enhancement programs to allow components to focus on their strengths and core mission.
NIJ remains a leader within Federal government for forensic science research and development and the Bureau of Justice Assistance will take over administration of all forensic capacity enhancement programs.
This move will enable NIJ scientists to focus on our research portfolios...
