              NIJ FY06 Forensics Science Research Targeting Forensic Engineering, Forensic Pathology, Forensic Odontology, Trace Evidence, Controlled Substances, and Questioned Documents: Invited Full Applications
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2006, $311,948)
The objective of this award is to evaluate the application of Raman spectroscopy and non-destructive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis techniques as applied to the evaluation of trace evidence and the examination of questioned documents and develop a reference database of spectra for forensic applications and cross-validate newly developed techniques for non-destructive SERS analysis.
