The result of receiving FY 2009 Convicted Offender and/or Arrestee DNA Backlog Reduction Program funds should be a demonstrated reduction in the total number of DNA database samples awaiting DNA analysis as of the application date and the expected receipt of new samples through March 31, 2010. If funds are awarded for data review of DNA profiles generated from DNA database samples, the number of such profiles awaiting review is expected to be reduced by the end of the grant period.
Each State that receives funding under this program must collect and submit quarterly financial status reports, semi-annual progress reports, and semi-annual performance metrics reports (with the semi-annual progress reports). Each award recipient also must submit a final report. The report must include a summary and assessment of the program carried out with the FY 2009 award, including performance metrics.
