NIJ FY24 Research and Evaluation on the Impact of Technologies for Forensic Science Applications

NIJ seeks funding proposals to study how technologies with forensic science applications impact criminal justice systems, how the implementation of forensic laboratory programs or practices affects outcomes, and how changes in policies adapt the use of forensic evidence.  

NIJ seeks rigorous evaluations of the implementation of technologies, methods, or workflow processes to understand the impact on backlog reduction, capacity enhancement, cost relative to benefit, workforce development, or case closure efficiency.
