The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded $246,365 to the New Zealand Institute For Public Health And Forensic Science LIMITED (ESR) on June 1, 2026, under the Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards program (CFDA 11.609). The one-year project, concluding May 31, 2027, develops critical resources to advance artificial intelligence (AI) adoption within forensic science laboratories. ESR will deliver four primary products: (1) a validated, open-access library of forensic AI use-case profiles aligned with NIST Forensic Science Process Maps; (2) a procurement framework outlining key considerations for acquiring AI systems in forensic contexts; (3) a standardized taxonomy and metadata structure for describing forensic AI applications; and (4) an open-access platform for sharing these resources. The project incorporates stakeholder engagement with forensic practitioners, legal professionals, and law enforcement agencies to ensure practical relevance to actual casework and laboratory operations. ESR will conduct a case study of LUMI Drug Scan, an AI-powered field drug detection system, demonstrating responsible AI deployment in forensic practice. These deliverables are designed to benefit forensic laboratories, AI developers, courts, and law enforcement agencies by providing standardized guidance for understanding, procuring, and implementing AI technologies in forensic workflows.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
