Additional Information

Agency Name: National Institute of Justice
Description: 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 applications 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.
