The problem

Grant discovery is broken for forensic agencies because it's scattered.

Federal forensic funding is substantial. Finding the right programs takes time most labs don't have.

01
Grants are scattered
DOJ, NIJ, NIST, CDC, DHS. Relevant programs are spread across a dozen federal agencies with no central source.
02
Eligibility is buried
Qualifying criteria sit inside dense solicitation documents. Reading them takes hours, only to find out you don't qualify.
03
Formula grants are opaque
JAG and Coverdell flow through state agencies. Which office to contact, and when, isn't obvious from federal guidance.
