Educational Outreach Initiative
Abstract
Defense Forensic Science Center requires funding for educational outreach initiatives including internship positions at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral candidate levels. Defense Forensic Science Center was designated as the leader for forensic science disciplines (DAPM Memo 4 Oct 2011). This memorandum states that the DFSC will establish a forensic RDT&E program that provides the integration of joint operational research, including procedures for establishing customer requirements, and identifying gaps and needs that lead to RDT&E priorities. The program includes developing a scholarly environment across the Defense Forensic Enterprise through the use of educational partnerships, internships and fellowships to facilitate participation in RDT&E projects. The Educational Outreach program will provide an opportunity for students to contribute to forensic science research and influence shared research priorities across the forensic science communities, while supporting the DFSC and laboratory operations. Through the internship program, a variety of innovative research will be conducted that supports research capabilities across the entire range of military operations including traditional, expeditionary (forward deployed laboratories), and reach-back operations.
