About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance is seeking applications for its Prosecuting Cold Cases Using DNA program to provide funding to support the prosecution of violent cold cases where a DNA profile of a known or unknown suspect has been identified. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, tribes, and tribal organizations to support investigative activities, forensic analyses, and crime scene investigations that could lead to successful prosecutions. Applications are due April 25, 2024 and will be evaluated based on the thoroughness of the work plan and budget to advance prosecution of violent crimes.
This program is assigned to the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs under the CFDA number 16.036. Award amounts are not specified but will fund prosecution of violent crime cold cases through resolution where DNA profiling has identified a suspect. Successful applicants will perform work nationwide with a focus on increasing the capacity of state and local prosecution offices to address unsolved violent crimes through DNA evidence.

Provided a DNA profile attributed to a known or unknown suspect has been developed, this funding also supports investigative activities, as well as crime and forensic analyses, that could lead to the successful prosecution of violent cold case crimes.
