As part of the planning process, the forensic science and law enforcement communities are invited to help identify new courses that would meet their current forensic science and crime scene training needs.

Suggestions for new courses may be submitted to Susan Villhauer, Training Coordinator for the Forensic Science Training Unit (FSTU) of the FBI Laboratory Division, via Internet e-mail to svillhauer@aol.com, via fax to 703-632-4657, or via regular mail to

The catalog of new courses and application materials will be mailed in late June or early July to the head of each agency listed in the FSTU database. Please note that only one catalog is mailed to each agency, and in turn, only one compiled application per agency will be accepted.

Questions about the program may be submitted to the Training Coordinator, who may also be contacted to confirm or update agency addresses in the FSTU database. Additional program details and instructions will be included in the catalog.

The deadline for applications is September 30, 2000.
