The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has recently issued the following solicitations. Please be aware that you must submit your application electronically using Grants.gov. Instructions for the Grants.gov registration process are available at: http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp.
NIJ FY07 Solving Cold Cases With DNA
Grants.gov Funding Opportunity Number: 2007-NIJ-1601
Deadline: May 14, 2007, 11:59 p.m. eastern time.
NIJ is seeking proposals from States and units of local government for funding to identify, review, and investigate violent crime “cold cases” that have the potential to be solved using DNA analysis, and to locate and analyze biological evidence associated with these cases. Experience has shown that cold case programs can solve a substantial number of violent crime cold cases, including homicides and sexual assaults. Advances in DNA technologies have substantially increased the successful DNA analysis of aged, degraded, limited or otherwise compromised biological evidence. As a result, crime scene samples once thought to be unsuitable for testing may now yield DNA profiles. Additionally, samples that previously generated inconclusive DNA results may now be successfully analyzed using newer methods. For the purposes of this announcement: “violent crime cold case” refers to any unsolved UCR, Part 1 Violent Crime case for which all significant investigative leads have been exhausted.
