Abstract
This report was developed with input from stakeholders in forensic science, including experts in the field and across the criminal justice community, and through a NIST-hosted workshop and literature review. This document provides a high-level perspective of the nation's forensic science challenges and the strategic research and development (R&D) and standards needed to address those challenges. The report is intended for use by both public and private stakeholders to inform decisions about R&D and standards that should be pursued to strengthen forensic science principles and methods that support legal decision-making.Citation
