Description
- Activities
- Florida international university will meet the following objectives: aim 1: dissemination/implementation survey: the first aim of the study is to conduct a survey of the relevant canine detection community inquiring about the knowledge and implementation of STD 092.developing a quality assurance framework for scene investigation. Aim 2: canine field assessments: canine teams selected in aim 1 will be invited to participate in a field assessment held in one of three locations in the united states; location 1: south florida, location 2: central texas and location 3: california. Aim 3: statistical analysis of data: quantitative and qualitative analyses will be performed on the survey results and on the data collected from the field assessments.
- Expected outcomes
- A technical report describing the project with details regarding the design and results of the survey as well as canine field assessments will be a final deliverable. This will include a detailed summary of participant response, broken down by question and results obtained. Furthermore, all data relevant to all replicate trials of canine assessments will be provided with the experimental design, results and statistical analysis of the data. A manuscript, similar to those published for other black box studies and entitled "assessing the accuracy and reliability of canine detection: a proof-of- concept black box study using osac explosives detection standards", will be published in an open access journal. Finding will also be disseminated to the relevant forensic science and canine detection communities through online advertisements of the published article, as well as seminar presentations at the american academy of forensic science and the canine detection and olfaction science conference.
- Intended beneficiaries
- Results from this study will be the first to assess reproducibility and determine error rates of explosives detection canines that use the osac standard with the goal of providing information to the osac subcommittee and the operational canine detection community that will ultimately improve detection proficiency and thus enhancing public safety.
- Subrecipient activities
- The recipient does intend to subaward funds to the texas technical university.
