Addressing Today’s Challenges
Organizing and Transferring SANE/SAFE/SART Knowledge and Best Practices (2014+)
– Project focuses on systemic challenges that impede the investigation of criminal sexual assault in the U.S.
– Goal: Awareness of resources and ensure existing research/knowledge/best practices are accessible
– Approach
– Consensus Topics• Victim-Centric Care: Neurobiology & Telehealth
• Evidence Collection: Conducting Sexual Assault Examinations
• Evidence Analysis: Innovating DNA Analysis Technologies
• Evidence Management: Eliminating Untested Evidence

Addressing Today’s Challenges
Forensic Optical Topography Working Group (2015+)
– NIJ directed the FTCOE to examine the development and application of forensic optical topography
– Goals• Determine how to improve practitioner access to
optical topography instrumentation and methods
• Determine how optical topography may improve the ability to individualize firearms and tool marks and provide a more objective and reliable basis for forensic comparisons
• Stimulate R&D in optical topography
