Georgia Department of Agriculture's Laboratory Flexible Funding Model project

实验室灵活资助模式(LFFM)--总体 项目期限：2020年7月1日至2025年6月30日 项目摘要/摘要(总体) MFRPS与饲料监管 计划标准(AFRP)为国家管理奠定了统一的基础 负责管理设施的计划，包括化学物质的实验室分析 和微生物污染物。乔治亚州农业部(GDA)参与了 2011年改进计划，随后签署了一项为期五年的合作协议，以获得ISO/IEC 17025认证。该项目后来得到了为期两年的认证维护的支持 和增强补助金，以及一年的额外拨款，以扩大认证范围，以支持 监管机构的主要服务实验室。GDA实验室取得的成就、增强的能力和 保持认证，帮助其监管机构满足以下要求 代表FDA进行的合同工作。 为了让GDA实验室保持其认证并支持监管机构 作为他们的主要实验室，需要持续的支持来抵消所需的额外费用 用于质量保证活动以及关键分析设备的持续维护。 国家合作伙伴接受全球食品安全倡议的额外责任继续 主要维修实验室需要支持和加强，以保持分析能力 实现这些目标的能力。为了实现这些目标，实验室将依靠 与我们的监管机构建立了关系，并同意收集和分析 MFRPS和AFRPS协议下的样本，以供可能的监管执法。GDA 已经与其监管合作伙伴建立并展示了成功的关系 以及实现这一目标的能力。之前签署的协议是为了收集和 使用国家检查员和可靠的抽样计划分析样本中的污染物。这些 结果将在国家数据库中提交，违规掺假将被 受到适当的监管行动的制约。这笔赠款将允许GDA实验室保持 认证国际标准，通过收集和分析样本来保护公众 为污染物作出贡献，并累计为综合国家食品安全系统作出贡献。

Laboratory Flexible Funding Model (LFFM) - OVERALL Project Period: July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025 Project Summary / Abstract (Overall) The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) and Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS) established a uniform foundation for management of state programs responsible for the regulation of facilities including laboratory analysis for chemical and microbiological contaminants. The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) participated in a 2011 Improvement Plan followed by a five-year cooperative agreement to obtain ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation. This project was later supported by a two-year Accreditation Maintenance and Enhancement grant and an addition year to expand upon accreditation in order to support the regulatory agency’s primary servicing lab. GDA laboratories achieved, enhanced, and maintained accreditation which assists their regulatory agencies in compliance requirements for contractual work on behalf of FDA. In order for GDA laboratories to maintain their accreditation and support the regulatory agency as their primary laboratory, continuous support is needed to offset the added expense required for Quality Assurance activities as well as the ongoing upkeep of critical analytical equipment. For state partners to accept added responsibility for Global Food Safety initiatives continued support and enhancement will be necessary for the primary servicing labs to maintain analytical capability for meeting these goals. To achieve these goals the laboratory will rely upon established relationships with our regulatory agency and their agreement to collect and analyze samples under the MFRPS and AFRPS agreements for possible regulatory enforcement. GDA has already developed and demonstrated successful relationships with their regulatory partners and ability to fulfill this objective. Signed agreements have been previously forged to collect and analyzed samples for contaminants using state inspectors and robust sampling plans. These results will be submitted in a national database repository and violative adulterations will be subject to appropriate regulatory action. This grant will allow GDA laboratories to maintain accreditation to international standards, protect the public by collecting and analyzing samples for contaminants and to cumulatively contribute to an integrated national food safety system.
