Forensics
The Forensic Science Initiative is the research and resource effort at West Virginia University. The FSI provides research and resources to the nation's forensic science laboratories. The FSI at WVU currently has 15 faculty performing research in the forensic sciences and over 25 active projects. It is arguably the largest and broadest research effort to date in the forensic sciences.

The FSI involves nearly every academic unit at WVU, including 5 College or Divisions and over a dozen Departments.

Working closely with WVU's nationally-recognized Forensic and Investigative Sciences program, the FSI exposes students to cutting-edge research experiences and up-to-the-minute technologies to help fight crime.

WVU's FSI partners with the FBI, ATF, WV State Police Laboratory and other forensic agencies to improve the science behind modern crime investigations.
