Where can I learn about the backlog of unanalyzed DNA samples and biological evidence from crime scenes in the U.S.?
For information related to the backlog of DNA evidence in the U.S., please view the Backlogs of Forensic DNA Evidence section of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) website. View the DNA Evidence Backlog Program Awards and Abstracts page to learn more about NIJ-funded efforts aimed at lessening the number of backlogged cases.

For additional information, see the Office of Justice Programs Forensic Sciences Special Feature and the Forensics Science topic page of the website. Also visit the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) section of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) site.
