Building an Integrated Laboratory System to Advance the Safety of Human and Animal Food

项目概要/摘要 公共卫生实验室协会（APHL）的这项提案旨在支持 提高国家人类和动物食品（HAF）检测实验室的能力， 在与食源性危害有关的监测和应对活动中， 疫情调查。 APHL将： ·通过开发和提供培训，建立一支有能力的HAF实验室工作人员队伍， 讲习班、研讨会和其他教育材料 ·计划和主办与LFFM学科和 GenomeTrakr网络 ·管理ISO/IEC 17025：2017认证的支持计划， 向非FDA资助的HAF实验室提供技术援助 ·加强和最大限度地提高HAF实验室参与GenomeTrakr网络 ·促进战略合作伙伴之间的信息共享，改善质量保证工作 并在综合食品安全体系中建立相互依赖。 通过这些努力，我们将满足个人实验室和广泛的培训需求， ISO/IEC 17025：2017实验室认证、实验室程序、数据传输（至NCBI和FDA） 数据系统），文件控制，质量管理体系，持续改进，样品 收集和风险评估。我们将为LFFM食品检测实验室策划和举办论坛 和GenomeTrakr实验室我们将促进与粮食伙伴关系的合作， 围绕科学和数据共享目标的保护。成功的衡量标准将根据 与供资机构协商完善的衡量标准。 作为代表州和地方实验室进行HAF测试的非营利协会， APHL代表各州的监管计划，可以有效地推进本合作组织的目标 协议50多年来，我们一直承担着教育、培训和提供 向我们的成员提供技术援助，并提出定义该领域的实践指南。 利用我们的经验将使FDA更好地与州和地方合作 当局建立综合食品安全体系，实现国家公共卫生目标。

Project Summary/Abstract The purpose of this proposal from the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) is to support and enhance the capabilities of state human and animal food (HAF) testing laboratories that engage in surveillance and response activities associated with foodborne hazards, including foodborne outbreak investigations. APHL will: • Build a competent HAF Laboratory workforce by developing and delivering trainings, workshops, seminars and other educational materials • Plan and host high quality conferences and meetings related to the LFFM disciplines and the GenomeTrakr network • Manage support programs for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation by providing direct technical assistance to non-FDA funded HAF laboratories • Enhance and maximize HAF laboratory participation in the GenomeTrakr network • Promote information sharing between strategic partners, improve quality assurance efforts and build mutual reliance in an integrated food safety system. Through these efforts, we will meet individual laboratory and broad-based training needs around ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory accreditation, laboratory procedures, data transfer (to NCBI and FDA data systems), document control, quality management systems, continuous improvement, sample collection, and risk assessment. We will plan and host forums for LFFM food testing laboratories and GenomeTrakr laboratories. We will foster collaborations with the Partnership for Food Protection around scientific and data sharing goals. Measurement of success will be against stated metrics, refined in consultation with the funding agency. As the non-profit association representing state and local laboratories that conduct HAF testing on behalf of state regulatory programs, APHL can efficiently advance the goals of this Cooperative Agreement. For over 50 years, we have met the responsibility to educate, train and provide technical assistance to our members and put forth practice guidelines that define the field. Leveraging our experience will better position FDA to work in partnership with state and local authorities to build an Integrated Food Safety System and achieve national public health goals.
