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.

Agency: Department of Justice
