NIJ FY 2023 Invited to Apply - Research and Development in Forensic Science for Criminal Justice Purposes Program
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement
and the community.
With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous basic or applied research and development projects.
An NIJ forensic science research and development grant supports a discrete, specified, circumscribed project that will:
Increase the body of knowledge to guide and inform forensic science policy and practice; or Lead to the production of useful material(s), device(s), system(s), or method(s) that have the potential for forensic application.
The intent of this program is to direct the findings of basic scientific research; foster research and development in broader scientific fields applicable to forensic science; and support ongoing forensic science research toward the development of highly-discriminating, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, and rapid methods for the identification, analysis, and interpretation of forensic evidence for criminal justice purposes.
Projects should address the challenges and needs of the forensic science community, including but not limited to, the operational needs discussed at NIJ’s FY Forensic Science Technology Working Group (TWG) meeting, which may be found on NIJ.OJP.gov.
Additional research needs of the forensic science community can be found at the Organization of Scientific Area Committees website.
Although the goals and deliverables of proposed projects are not required to result in immediate solutions to the posted challenges and needs, proposals should, at a minimum, address the foundational work that will lead to eventual solutions.
Statutory Authority:
Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (sections 201 and 202); the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (sections 231-233, 235); and 28 U.S.C.
530C.
