About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is seeking applications for the FY 2024 Formula DNA Capacity Enhancement for Backlog Reduction (CEBR) Program. This grant provides funding to state and local governments with existing crime laboratories that conduct DNA analysis to process more DNA samples and increase their capacity to enter them into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). The goal is to reduce the number of forensic DNA and DNA database samples awaiting analysis and prevent a backlog. The application deadline is May 23, 2024.
The CEBR Program is part of the Comprehensive Forensic DNA Analysis Grant Program (CFDA 16.036), which aims to assist eligible states and local governments in collecting, processing, and increasing their capacity to process DNA evidence for entry into CODIS. The specific award values and budget ranges are not provided, but the grant seeks to help publicly funded forensic DNA and DNA database laboratories increase their processing capacity.
