Forensic Sciences
The term "forensic science" covers a broad range of forensic disciplines, each with its own set of technologies and practices. Some are laboratory based, while others revolve around expert interpretation of observed patterns.
Through various funding opportunities, research, and more, the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is working to provide critical information and resources to forensics personnel and to support programs and activities.
