FIGG Grant Expenditure and Amendment 2 Discussion
Body
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Medical Examiner will discuss the FIGG Grant Expenditure and Amendment 2 reallocation of funds. Their staff applied for and was awarded $79,992 for the FY 25 Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG) Grant Program through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, relating to lab testing, genetic genealogy, and law enforcement investigative methods to investigate leads in unsolved violent crimes and identify unidentified human remains (UHR). Funding is available for the processing of DNA samples. The funds are generally dispersed by FDLE reimbursement after eligible expenses are incurred and documented.
The approved case UHR NamUS UP#11351 in the amount of $9,999.00 did not yield enough DNA for the vendor to continue with services and render an invoice. Case UHR NamUS UP#6556 has been approved to replace UP#11351 in the amount of $9,999.00.
