Marshall University DNA Crime Laboratory Technical Assistance Program

The DNA Crime Lab Technical Assistance Program is based on a yearly solicitation and partnership between the Marshall University Forensic Science Center and DNA Crime Lab Units across the country who have validation needs.  Once the validation study is defined, a MU graduate student is trained at Marshall (Aug 2009 - May 2010) to perform the crime lab-specified validation study in their facility (May 2010 - August 2010).  Based on survey responses approximately 8 lab will be selected to participate in this program.
