              NIJ FY 10 Research and Development on Instrumental Analysis for Forensic Science Applications
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2010, $476,348)
The goal of this research project is to develop a SOP for sampling and pyrosequencing microbial communities on human remains to predict the actual time since death. This research could lead to a new method of post mortem interval (PMI) determination, which would assist law enforcement and medicolegal death investigators establish a time of death.
