FDA FERN Microbiological Cooperative Agreement Program PAR-09-215

项目摘要 该项目包括密歇根州农业部的努力， 参与粮食紧急反应网络（FERN）， 微生物测试。欧洲环境研究网络合作协议旨在针对国家， 当地和部落的蕨类植物实验室，以提供更多的样本分析，在事件的食物 需要进行快速反应能力测试的疫情或其他大规模粮食紧急事件 相关的食物样本这些样本可能涉及食品和/或环境 与食品有关的样品，并将由联邦、州或地方机构收集。 样本数量和样本时间安排将由FERN National 项目办公室（NPO）与州/地方实验室当局协调。联邦或州 监测任务也将成为实验室分析的样本来源。

Project Summary This project comprises the Michigan Department of Agriculture's effort to further participate in the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN), by providing microbiological testing.The FERN cooperative agreements are intended to target state, local, and tribal FERN labs to provide increased sample analyses in the event of food outbreaks or other large-scale food emergency events requiring surge capacity testing of implicated food samples. These samples could involve foods and/or environmental samples related to foods, and will be collected by Federal, State, or local agencies. Numbers of samples and scheduling of samples will be done by the FERN National Program Office (NPO) in coordination with State/Local lab authorities. Federal or State surveillance assignments will also be a source of samples for lab analysis.
