President's DNA Initiative

Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology

Although NIJ funding supports a wide range of forensic disciplines, NIJ’s DNA research is some of the most visible and exciting. In 2006, the Institute provided more than $107 million in funding under the President’s DNA Initiative, a 5-year plan to ensure that forensic DNA reaches its full potential to solve crimes, protect the innocent, and identify missing persons.

Information on all of NIJ’s work through the President’s DNA Initiative is available at www.dna.gov.
