handshakeFirst and foremost, MUFSC is affiliated with Marshall University and the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine (JCESOM). MUFSC's Master of Science Degree Program is coordinated through the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine and the Marshall University Graduate College.

Marshall

Marshall University is a multi-campus public university providing innovative undergraduate and graduate education that contributes to the development of society and the individual. The University actively facilitates learning through the preservation, discovery, synthesis, and dissemination of knowledge.

MUSOM
At Marshall University , the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine blends high-quality medical education and graduate education with a distinctive hands-on approach to meeting the health care needs of West Virginians and others who live in the nation's rural areas.



NIJThe National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice and is dedicated to researching crime control and justice issues. The NIJ provides objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to meet the challenges of crime and justice, particularly at the State and local levels.

FRNMUFSC is one of four members of the Forensic Resource Network (FRN). The FRN was created by the NIJ as a mechanism to increase the capabilities and capacities of local and state forensic laboratories. While forensic scientists strive to meet the immediate needs of their community, technology is moving forward.

Advanced technology implementation requires crime laboratory personnel to learn new skills through continuing education and credentialing. New technology must undergo refinement and validation before acceptance and transfer into working crime laboratories. Consensus method standards and traceable materials must be available to allow laboratories to operate at the highest level of quality and maintain public confidence.
 Members of the FRN are able to meet the technology and training needs of the forensic science community and create model programs that can be directly transferred to state and local crime laboratories.
The four critical areas addressed by the FRN:
  • Training
  • Technology transfer
  • Methods research and development, training & evaluation
  • Analytical methods – prepare forensic scientists to meet current and future challenges affecting national guidelines and stakeholder expectations.
