NIJ FY 09 Electronic Crime and Digital Evidence Recovery

This is an interesting funding opportunity sponsored by the Department of Justice:

By scrolling down, a pdf of the RFP is available.

On the pdf, I think the focus of the grant is interesting, especially under the "Digital Evidence Forensic Examination Tools," subheading, where the DOJ is particularly looking for those who can do "Research and development of Macintosh-compatible computer forensic tools for State and local law enforcement agency application." In their list of "Additional Requirements," I was glad to see that they also want to see intellectual property issues addressed by whoever is successful in obtaining these grant funds.
