NIJ FY 10 Research and Development on Pattern and Impression Evidence
NIJ seeks proposals for funding research and development to enhance forensic scientists' ability to identify, capture, visualize, analyze, and preserve impression evidence and pattern evidence. In FY 2010, priority will be given to research that focuses on tools and methods that will allow faster, more widely applicable, more rugged, less costly, or less labor-intensive identification, collection, preservation, and analysis of impression and pattern evidence; studies...
