NIJ FY06 Forensic Casework DNA Backlog Reduction Program Grant Announcement

NIJ FY06 DNA Capacity Enhancement Program Solicitation

NIJ seeks concept papers for research and development to enhance crime laboratories’ ability to identify, characterize, capture, visualize, and preserve impression evidence. This solicitation focuses on: 1. Faster, reliable, widely applicable, less costly, and/or less labor-intensive tools/technologies for the identification, collection, preservation, and/or analysis of impression evidence. 2. Tools that provide a quantitative measure/statistical evaluation of forensic comparisons. 3. The effect of time and environmental...

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks concept papers for research and development to enhance forensic crime scene examinations, specifically: 1. Small, rugged, less costly, less labor-intensive, and nondestructive analytical tools and technologies for onsite presumptive and/or confirmatory analysis of forensic evidence at a crime scene. 2. Sample location, identification, capture, and stabilization technology suitable for recovering trace particulate, liquid, chemical, and biological evidence at a crime...

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks concept papers for research and development (R&D) to enhance qualitatively and/or quantitatively the analytical tools, technologies, and techniques employed by crime laboratories in forensic toxicological analyses.

NIJ is seeking concept papers on research, development, or demonstration projects that propose realistic technological solutions to the various challenges that electronic crime presents to law enforcement and the criminal justice community. NIJ defines electronic crime as any type of crime involving digital technology including, but not limited to, computers, personal digital assistants, external drives, cell phones, and digital cameras.

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for research and development to enhance the forensic uses of DNA technology. This solicitation focuses on technologies that result in faster, more robust, more informative, less costly, and/or less labor-intensive identification, collection, preservation, and/or analysis of DNA evidence collected from crime scenes.

This solicitation focuses on: 1. Tools/technologies for the identification, collection, preservation, and/or analysis of forensic evidence that are faster, more reliable, widely applicable, rugged, less costly, and/or less labor-intensive. 2. Tools that provide a quantitat ive measure/statistical evaluati on of forensic comparisons. 3. The identification or characterization of new analytes of forensic importance.
