Solicitation # O-BJA-2025-172672
The Bureau of Justice Assistance is soliciting applications for the FY 2025 Forensic Ballistics and Higher Education Program to support public and state-controlled institutions of higher education in developing or enhancing specialized curricula focused on forensic firearm ballistics and crime gun intelligence. This initiative builds upon previously developed and piloted foundational training in NIBIN operations, ballistic analysis, and CGI methodologies, now shifting toward hands-on student training to build proficiency in processing firearms evidence, conducting ballistic comparisons through NIBIN, generating crime gun intelligence, and applying investigative techniques that lead to successful criminal apprehensions and convictions. The goal is to strengthen the pipeline of skilled professionals entering law enforcement and forensic science fields by creating scalable, replicable educational models that foster enduring partnerships between academic institutions, local law enforcement, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Funding under this opportunity aims to expand geographic access to specialized forensic training and establish frameworks that can be adopted nationally to address violent gun crime more effectively. Applicants must demonstrate a clear plan for collaboration with local law enforcement agencies and ATF, ensuring that student training aligns with real-world operational needs. The solicitation, identified as O-BJA-2025-172672, was posted on August 5, 2026, with a response deadline of September 14, 2026.
