Ph.D. Students Earn Fellowship from NIJ
In the first year of the Ph.D. program in Forensic Science at Sam Houston State University, three students received National Institute of Justice Fellowship grants to develop new techniques to preserve DNA in tissues and speed up the identification process, for DNA-based identification of marijuana, and for designer drug identification in crime labs.
The three doctoral students, Amy Sorensen, Rachel Houston, and Jessica Winborn received full scholarships, stipends and travel expenses – up to $50,000 annually – as part of the fellowship. The NIJ program is designed to strengthen and broaden research on emerging issues in criminal justice by allowing students to work full time on research and promote critical and innovative thinking on issues affecting criminal justice professionals.
