FDA Vet-LIRN Site Application - Tier I Lab Renewal

项目总结 密苏里大学的兽医诊断实验室(VMDL)是一个完整的 服务诊断实验室，这是密苏里州唯一获得美国认证的实验室 兽医实验室诊断协会(AAVLD)。VMDL是的I级实验室 国家动物卫生实验室网络(NAHLN)。VMDL是 食品和药物管理局(FDA)兽医实验室调查和回应 网络(VET-LIRN)。VMDL为MU提供深入的实验室诊断支持 兽医卫生院、兽医从业者、畜禽养殖业、 伙伴动物健康的利益相关者、野生动物保护者以及州和联邦 监管机构。该应用程序的目标是加强VMDL对FDA的支持 VET-LIRN，关于“调查影响国家食品或食品的潜在不良事件” 通过对兽医产品、动物饲料或诊断进行检测来供应动物饲料 样本“。具体目标是1)参与FDA Vet-LIRN样本分析，2)提供 分析数据以支持潜在的监管用途，以及3)参与额外的FDA Vet-LIRN 研究和开发项目，如已确定的方法开发和验证 被VPO带走了。申请的资金将使VMDL能够保持Tier I Lab状态， 从而完成正在进行的FDA项目，开发新的方法而不中断 常规诊断服务，以及更有效地应对食源性疾病暴发。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (VMDL) at the University of Missouri is a full service diagnostic laboratory and it is Missouri’s only laboratory accredited by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD). The VMDL is a Level I Lab of the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN). The VMDL is a Tier I Laboratory of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Veterinary Laboratory Investigation and Response Network (Vet-LIRN). The VMDL provides in-depth laboratory diagnostic support to MU Veterinary Health Center Hospital, veterinary practitioners, livestock and poultry industry, stakeholders in companion animal health, wildlife conservationists, and state and federal regulatory agencies. The goal of this application is to strengthen the VMDL’s support of FDA Vet-LIRN, with respect to “investigate potential adverse events affecting the nation’s food or animal feed supply by conducting testing of veterinary products, animal feeds or diagnostic samples”. The specific aims are to 1) participate in FDA Vet-LIRN sample analysis, 2) provide analytical data to support potential regulatory use, and 3) participate in additional FDA Vet-LIRN research and development projects, such as method development and validation as determined by the VPO. The requested funding will enable the VMDL to maintain the Tier I Lab status, hereby completing the on-going FDA projects, developing new methods without interrupting routine diagnostic services, and more efficiently responding to foodborne disease outbreaks.
