Making a Difference

"We really appreciate NFSTC coming out to do the audit for us. I expected the worst - but it went well and I feel like it was a quality audit. Excellent job … very thorough."

Assessments

NFSTC’s highly trained DNA auditors visit and review publicly funded DNA laboratories against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Quality Assurance Standards as approved by the National DNA Index System (NDIS). The DNA Audit program is currently funded by a Cooperative Agreement with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Office of Science & Technology. The free audit program is ending September 30, 2012, but NFSTC will continue offering these quality assurance audits beginning October 1, 2012, on a fee-for-service basis.

Through these external DNA audits, NFSTC offers:

  • A nationwide team that has performed more than 700 DNA audits. We have the experience to schedule, coordinate and execute your audit and complete your paperwork properly and efficiently.
  • High-quality audits. NFSTC audits historically have a very low rate of NDIS-overturned findings.
  • Carefully selected auditors for your location and instrumentation, in compliance with NIJ solicitation criteria.
