Established by the Frederic Rieders Family Foundation to provide continuing professional development for forensic scientists.

The Center provides continuing professional education and training courses as well as structured internships and certificate programs to promote competence and integrity in the practice of forensic science.

The Center has a multidisciplinary active research program with multiple ongoing grant-funded projects supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the Department of Defense (DoD), the National Safety Council (NSC), and major scientific instrument manufacturers.

The Center works in collaboration with leading accredited universities providing access to our world-class research instrumentation, renowned faculty and our custom designed internship programs to prepare students for successful careers in the field.
