- The National Institute of Justice awarded a $392,196 Project Grant under the Forensics Training and Technical Assistance Program (CFDA 16.044) to RTI International. The goal of this 24-month project is to develop a software platform for automating and improving the reliability of colorimetric drug testing, which is a commonly used but limited technique in forensic science. Phase 1 will involve generating test images and defining optimal analysis parameters, while Phase 2 will incorporate machine...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), under the CFDA 16.560 National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants program, will develop and validate advanced analytical methods for the differentiation of hemp and marijuana, including the detection of emerging Δ9-THC positional isomers. The $216,763 award to Sam Houston State University will leverage liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques combined with copper phosphine...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (CFDA 16.540) program, provides $111,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to conduct a mixed-methods study examining the relationship between cannabis policy changes and school-based discipline for cannabis-related incidents among youth under age 21 in Massachusetts between 2005-2021. The quantitative portion will analyze if proportions of school-based...
- This federal Project Grant award of $105,570, provided by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) under the NIJ Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants program (CFDA 16.560), supports the development of optimized protocols for the rapid detection, differentiation, and quantification of the psychedelic substances psilocybin and psilocin in food and drink products. The award will fund the creation of an efficient extraction approach for psilocybin and psilocin that is independent of...
- The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) awarded a $726,360 Project Grant to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) under the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program (COSSUP), CFDA 16.838. The funding will support VCU's efforts to address analytical challenges with proliferating commercially available THC analogues. Key project activities include monitoring e-liquids to identify emerging THC analogs, developing and validating analytical methods for product and biological...
This Project Grant from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs National Institute of Justice will support research and development of roadside testing technologies for marijuana impairment. Funded at $595,000 under the National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants program (CFDA 16.560), the award running from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024 will support Immad of Quincy, MA in developing an easy-to-use, portable roadside device to test for recent marijuana use. The research aims to establish the scientific basis and metrics for a THC test, as well as evaluate the use of virtual reality goggles adapted into a collapsible roadside module to test visual field impairment in under two minutes per eye. The program supports applied research to reduce crime and advance justice at the state and local level.
