Loyola University Maryland has been awarded nearly $1 million in federal funding to create a forensic science training center to support forensic science innovation and training through the University’s partnerships with local law enforcement agencies and the City of Baltimore.
Resources provided through the $965,000 in federal funding will enable cutting-edge research in areas like DNA analysis, toxicology, digital forensics, and pattern analysis.
“This funding is significant not just for Loyola, but for our entire community,” said Terrence M. Sawyer, J.D., president of Loyola. “It ensures that the university will continue to graduate highly skilled, civic-minded forensic scientists who are ready to serve, while also building upon the mutually beneficial training partnerships Loyola has with local law enforcement agencies and investing in experiential learning opportunities for young people interested in careers in the forensic sciences. I am incredibly grateful to Congressman Olszewski for his belief in and support of our program.”…
