The purpose of the National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Projects Grants program is to encourage and support research, development, and evaluation to improve criminal justice policy and practice in the United States.
With this program, NIJ seeks proposals for funding of research and technology development leading to the introduction of new forensic tools for digital evidence. NIJ is specifically interested in proposals addressing the following topics: (1) Forensic tools for mobile cellular devices; (2) Data forensics in the Internet-based (Cloud Computing) environment; (3) Forensic tools for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications; (4) Forensic tools for vehicle computer systems. NIJ's Science and Technology (S&T) program sponsors research, development, test, and evaluation efforts to improve the safety and effectiveness of the tools and technologies used by criminal justice agencies. Although Federal agencies are part of its constituency, NIJ's primary focus is on the needs of State and local agencies. An improved capability to use and process digital evidence is a high-priority technology need for criminal justice agencies. The goal of this program is to develop tools that will provide that capability. This program seeks applications for funding for research and technology development addressing the following topics areas as described. A single application may not address more than one topic. However, an applicant may submit multiple applications, each addressing a different topic.
In FY09, approximately $1.25 million was made available to fund projects under this program.
