Project Summary/Abstract This proposal is submitted collaboratively by the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), and the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). The purpose of the collaboration is to further the goals of the Food Safety Modernization Act by facilitating long-term improvements to the national food and animal feed safety system. The overall goal is to strengthen and integrate a community of food and feed testing laboratories for the advancement of public health. The three Associations are uniquely qualified to perform this work because their mission is to represent and support the multi-disciplinary laboratories that perform food and animal feed testing in support of regulatory programs, surveillance efforts, and outbreak investigations. Specific objectives of the work include: management of support programs to facilitate ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation of member laboratories; establishment of equivalency between federal, state, and local food and feed testing laboratories; reaching national consensus on the acceptance and better sharing of analytical data; identification of a national framework for a unified laboratory response to food or animal feed safety emergencies; improvements in communication among federal, state, and local testing laboratories and with their associated regulatory and public health programs; providing a proficiency testing program for feed laboratories; and strengthening partnerships with clinical laboratories to improve the sharing of samples and information. Achieving these objectives will require extensive collaboration and coordination of the three Associations, with federal partners, and with a wide range of stakeholders. The methods to be employed to reach these objectives include identification of model programs and processes; pilot testing of new approaches; organization of national and regional forums and focus groups; development of working groups, resource repositories, and Subject Matter Expert registries; delivery of formal training sessions and other adult learning opportunities (in collaboration with the International Food Protection Training Institute); and utilization of the existing committee infrastructure of each Association. Measurement of success will be against stated metrics, written and refined in consultation with the funding agency.

项目总结/摘要 该提案由公共卫生实验室协会共同提交 （APHL），食品和药物官员协会（AFDO）和美国食品药品监督管理局（AFDA） 饲料控制官员（AAFCO）。合作的目的是进一步实现以下目标： 《食品安全现代化法》，促进国家食品安全的长期改善， 食品和动物饲料安全体系。总体目标是加强和整合一个 食品和饲料检测实验室社区，以促进公共卫生。三 协会是唯一有资格进行这项工作的，因为它们的使命是代表 并支持多学科实验室进行食品和动物饲料测试， 支持监管计划、监测工作和疫情调查。具体 工作目标包括：管理支持计划，以促进ISO/IEC 17025：2005成员实验室的认证;建立联邦、 州和地方食品和饲料测试实验室;就接受达成全国共识 更好地分享分析数据;确定一个国家框架， 实验室对食品或动物饲料安全紧急情况的反应;改善沟通 在联邦、州和地方测试实验室之间，以及与其相关的监管和 公共卫生计划;为饲料实验室提供能力测试计划;以及 加强与临床实验室的伙伴关系，以改善样本共享， 信息.实现这些目标将需要广泛的合作和协调， 与联邦合作伙伴以及广泛的利益攸关方合作。的方法 为实现这些目标而采用的方法包括确定示范方案和流程; 对新方法进行试点测试;组织国家和区域论坛和重点小组; 建立工作组、资源库和主题专家登记册; 提供正式培训课程和其他成人学习机会（与 国际粮食保护训练研究所）;以及利用现有的委员会 每个协会的基础设施。成功的衡量将根据规定的指标，书面 并与供资机构协商加以完善。
