NIJ FY 10 Forensic Science Training Development and Delivery Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIJ FY 10 Forensic Science Training Development and Delivery Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice (NIJ), focused on expanding high-quality forensic science training for practitioners and their criminal justice partners at the state and local level. The central purpose is to increase the availability of no-cost educational and training opportunities across forensic science disciplines, helping agencies strengthen day-to-day practice, improve consistency, and keep pace with evolving methods and standards. In addition to traditional forensic science training, the solicitation specifically emphasizes the development and delivery of forensic digital evidence training tailored to state and local law enforcement, recognizing the growing volume and importance of digital evidence in investigations.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NIJ expects substantial involvement in the funded project beyond simply issuing funds, often through collaborative planning, oversight, and coordination to ensure the training products and delivery align with program goals. The opportunity is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and also under Science and Technology/Research and Development, reflecting that training may involve both applied instruction and the translation of forensic science advances into practical field and laboratory training. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which can reduce barriers for organizations that want to develop and offer training without needing to secure additional non-federal resources.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the program is broadly open to applicants of any entity type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may be included in the full solicitation. This typically allows a wide range of potential applicants such as universities, nonprofit organizations, private entities, professional associations, training providers, and governmental units, as long as they can credibly develop and deliver training that serves the intended state and local practitioner audience and meets NIJ expectations.

Applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Grants Management System (GMS), an online grants platform described as providing end-to-end support across the grant lifecycle, from application submission through award management. The posting date for the solicitation was March 31, 2010, and the closing date was May 17, 2010 (with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date). Applicants were encouraged to start registration early, particularly first-time GMS users, to avoid last-minute delays. For technical problems with GMS, applicants could contact the GMS Help Desk by email at GMSHelpDesk@usdoj.gov or by phone at 1-888-549-9901 (option 3), available Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to midnight Eastern Time, excluding federal holidays. Instructions and training for registration and submission were referenced at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/gmscbt/.

For programmatic questions, NIJ provided separate points of contact depending on the proposal focus. Questions related to general forensic science training proposals were directed to Brigid OBrien, Program Manager, at 202-305-1983 or brigid.obrien@usdoj.gov. Questions related specifically to forensic digital evidence training proposals were directed to Martin Novak, Program Manager, at 202-616-0630 or martin.novak@usdoj.gov. The funding opportunity number for this solicitation is NIJ-2010-2413, and it was later archived on August 17, 2010. Award ceiling and floor amounts are listed as 0 in the source summary, which usually indicates the public listing does not specify fixed minimum or maximum award amounts in that field and applicants would need to consult the full solicitation for expected funding ranges, project periods, and any limits or guidance on budgets and deliverables.
