UPDATE: NIST Forensic Science Environmental Scan and Strategic Research Report
NIST Interagency Report (NIST IR 8515)
NIST just dropped a second report on strategic research in forensic science. These two reports are a road map for forensic research for the foreseeable future.
This NIST report1 just came across my desk. It deserves a long, close read. The report is a deep dive into where forensic science* is right now, with some intriguing-to-shocking details. Enjoy.
