Electronic Crime and Digital Evidence Recovery

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). NIJ provides objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to enhance the administration of justice and public safety. NIJ solicits applications to inform its search for the knowledge and tools to guide policy and practice.

NIJ is seeking applications for funding to develop emerging electronic crime and digital evidence recovery technology solutions for law enforcement agencies. The specific areas of interest under this solicitation are:

• Faster and more efficient data acquisition technology.
• Cell phone forensic acquisition and analysis tools and technologies including boot loaders.
• Forensic and investigative tools and technologies to investigate criminal use of Internet anonymizers.
• Damaged hard drive data recovery and forensic examination tools.
• Macintosh forensic tools.

In addition to applications proposing to develop new solutions, NIJ will also consider applications proposing to demonstrate, test, or evaluate existing cutting edge solutions in these areas of interest that have not yet been adopted into practice.
