National Technology Validation and Implementation Collaborative (NTVIC)

The National Technology Validation and Implementation Collaborative (NTVIC) was established in 2022 with a vision to collaborate nationally on forensic science validation, method development, and implementation in the public sector. The group is not associated with any organization, corporation, or non-profit. However, the group is connected with prominent forensic science membership organizations, universities, and private technology and research companies. The NTVIC members are federal, state, regional, and large local forensic science laboratory directors with validation needs and resources. The NTVIC members have a common vision to share existing resources to work together on validation and implementation projects to lessen the burden on individual forensic science and forensic medicine providers to perform the work. Their website contains a list of laws and court cases related to Forensic Genetic Genealogy.
