The National Forensic Science Technology Center (NFSTC) in Largo, Florida has created the Forensic Innovation Center, a new, for-profit enterprise also in Largo. NFSTC conducts forensic research, education programs, and laboratory quality reviews, and evaluates forensic technologies.
The Forensic Innovation Center (FIC) will conduct its work under contracts, separate from the grants and cooperative agreements that fund NFSTC. FIC’s capabilities include instructional design, Web-based and hands-on training, project management, equipment procurement, forensic technology evaluation and assistance, and assessment and consulting services.
NFSTC says an informal business cluster has already been created, from a variety of partners drawn to the area to work on projects for homeland security, defense, and justice clients. FIC is expected to provide some 40 new job opportunities in Pinellas County, Florida over the next three years.
