Funding requests for bibliographic preparation, travel,
equipment, routine agency operations, including salary
of investigators/researchers or assistants, are not normally
approved and are discouraged.
Issues related to the use of live humans or animals as
research subjects must be dealt with explicitly in the
proposal. Similarly, your plan for accommodating any issue
related to privacy, appropriate permissions, and the harvesting,
transport or disposal of human tissues or body fluids
must be included.
The Principal Investigator of the research proposal must
be a member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences
(any status).
Deadline for Acorn Grant proposals is June 15 of the
