NIJ FY 10 Forensic DNA Unit Efficiency Improvement Program
The goal of NIJs Forensic DNA Unit Efficiency Improvement Program is to identify and facilitate implementation of novel technologies resulting from ongoing research and development projects in the field of forensic DNA, as well as in other fields such as molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology
that may improve the capacity and/or efficiency of forensic DNA laboratories.
Specifically, this program is designed to fund the incorporation of such novel technologies, through validation studies, into State and local government forensic laboratories that are currently performing DNA analysis.
Priority consideration will be given to proposals that focus on technologies developed as a result of NIJs Forensic DNA Research and Development Program.
Additionally, technologies intended to improve the efficiency of analyzing DNA samples will be given priority consideration over those that improve the identification, collection, and/or preservation of biological evidence/samples.
How to Apply:
Applications will be submitted through OJPs Grants Management System (GMS).
GMS is a Web-based, data-driven computer application that provides cradle to grave support for the application, award and management of grants at OJP.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
