Applied Forensic Sciences Databases

As recently as October 2008, the Department of Applied Forensic Sciences has been awarded three grants by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). These grants will be used towards carrying out research in three diverse but critical areas in forensic anthropology.

This is the beginning of a website/database interface in support of these projects.
