The United States National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has co-ordinated the development of the website with NFSTC with the assistance of an advisory committee which includes NIFS. One feature of the website is a portal for information.  This portal function could be established both to help members find information and to assist service enablers (such as NIFS and NIJ) distribute information.  TIFS Website:  www.theforensicsummit.org General Information Anil Aggrawal's Forensic Toxicology Page Centre for Australian Forensic Soil Science (CAFSS) Crime and Clues Crime Scene Investigation DNA Litigation Support Page (Denver District Attorney's Office) European Association for Forensic Entomology (EAFE) Explore Forensics FBI for kids Fire Cause and Origin Investigation Forensic e-symposium Forensic Psychiatry Forensic Resources and Criminal Law Search Site Forensic Science Unit (University of Western Australia) Forensics (at The University of Technology, Sydney) Integrated Ballistic Identification System (IBIS) -  Linking Crime Guns:  The impact of ballistics imaging technology on the productivity of the Boston Police Department's Ballistics Unit; -  A practical application of forensic science, technology and engineering to case linkage in shooting incidents not previously related by investigative personnel; -  IBIS success stories.
