March 2, 2010 - 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 seeks qualified applicants to establish and operate a Forensic Technology Center of Excellence (”the Center”) within the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center System (“the NLECTC System”) to support its research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) process in all areas of forensic science for criminal justice application. The Center will support the NIJ RDT&E process by providing scientific and technical support to NIJ’s research and development efforts; supporting the demonstration, transfer, and adoption of appropriate forensic technology into practice by crime laboratories, forensic service providers (supporting criminal justice applications), law enforcement, and other criminal justice agencies; assisting in the development and dissemination of technology guidelines and standards; and providing technology assistance, information, and support to the above law enforcement and other appropriate criminal justice agencies.
