Synopsis

This program addresses capacity challenges within the Medical Examiner/Coroner (ME/C) system brought on by strict industry caps on the number of autopsies that certified pathologists can perform in a calendar year. This perennial challenge has been exacerbated by extraordinary spikes in opioid-related fatalities and the COVID pandemic. This funding will strengthen the ME/C system by increasing the number of certified forensic pathologists and enhancing the quality of medicolegal death investigations nationwide. Please see the Eligible Applicants section for the eligibility criteria.

This round has closed. One email the morning after this program is posted again under a new number (we watch for about two years), and one more about a week before that round closes (the next morning, if it is already closer than that). That is all this sends — it is not a newsletter signup.
