NIJ FY06 Research and Development on Crime Scene Tools, Techniques, and Technologies: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks concept papers for research and development to enhance forensic crime scene examinations, specifically: 1. Small, rugged, less costly, less labor intensive, and nondestructive analytical tools and technologies for onsite presumptive and/or confirmatory analysis of forensic evidence at a crime scene. 2. Sample location, identification, capture, and stabilization technology suitable for recovering trace particulate, liquid, chemical, and biological evidence at a crime scene. 3.Improving basic and fundamental understanding of chemical and biological signatures found at crime scenes. Forensic crime scene evidence typically consists of, but is not limited to: latent prints, blood splatter, blood, semen, hairs, fibers, gun shot residue, explosive residue, and fire debris. Note: NIJ will not accept proposals through this solicitation that relate to the analysis of biological evidence for DNA research and development of portable digital technology forensics. Such proposals will be accepted through NIJs Forensic DNA Research and Development solicitation or Electronic Crime Research and Development solicitation.
