To support research that focuses on tools and methods that will allow faster, more widely applicable, more rugged, less costly, or less labor-intensive identification, collection, preservation and analysis of impression and pattern evidence; studies in fluid transfer and fluid dynamics, specifically blood, to analyze bloodstain patterns; studies to examine the mechanical properties of materials (fracture mechanics) in physical match analysis of evidence; and research on the effect of environmental factors on impression and/or pattern evidence
