FDA FERN Microbiological Cooperative Agreement Program RFA-FD-12-018 Catalog of Federal Assistance Number: 93.448 Abstract Texas performs analysis of foods both for regulatory purposes and to insure safe food for public consumption. In addition, analysis of foods and environmental samples are performed in response to foodborne outbreaks. This grant would serve to strengthen our state's commitment to a safe food supply and improve the ability of DSHS to respond to a biological threat to the nation's food supply. As a grant recipient, Texas would use the FDA funding to leverage the groundwork already done and increase food testing capacity. This groundwork includes the DSHS membership in the FDA Rapid Response Teams and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Laboratory Response Network (LRN). Texas is in a unique position to develop large-scale food emergency event surge capacity using the existing network of ten public health laboratories, which are strategically placed in the state's public health regions. The laboratory uses standardized methods developed for food testing, has access to standardized equipment platforms and has the capacity for electronic laboratory reporting. The DSHS laboratory currently participates in FDA and FERN proficiency testing. We have extensive quality management systems in place, and are exploring obtaining ISO 17025 accreditation. The laboratory has experience in method development and validation of food testing protocols. As methods are developed and validated, the DSHS laboratory could also expand the state's capacity for food testing training our LRN partners in performance of those methods. The laboratory currently has staff with extensive expertise in real time PCR, analysis of pathogens, immunomagnetic separation, ELFA and ELISA techniques for food and environmental samples. In conclusion, the goal of this grant application is to improve DSHS collaborations with the FDA and FERN. If awarded this grant, Texas would welcome the opportunity to have substantive involvement by the FDA and FERN in the implementation of this cooperative agreement. The grant would promote reliable capability and capacity for the laboratory analysis of food and food products by the rapid detection and identification of pathogenic microorganisms or bacterial toxins. This testing would support enhancement of the FERN in surge situations and surveillance of food samples.

FDA FERN微生物合作协议计划 RFA-FD-12-018 联邦援助编号：93.448 抽象的 德克萨斯州对用于监管目的的食物进行分析，并确保安全食品 用于公众消费。此外，食物和环境样品的分析是 为了应对食源性暴发而进行。这笔赠款将有助于加强我们的 州对安全粮食供应的承诺，并提高DSH的回应能力 对国家粮食供应的生物威胁。作为赠款接收者，得克萨斯州将使用 FDA资金利用已经完成的基础工作并增加了食物测试 容量。该基础工作包括FDA快速响应的DSHS成员资格 团队和疾病控制中心（CDC）实验室反应网络 （LRN）。德克萨斯州处于开发大规模食品紧急事件的独特位置 使用十个公共卫生实验室的现有网络的能力， 战略性地置于该州的公共卫生地区。实验室使用标准化 开发用于食品测试的方法，可以使用标准化设备平台 并具有电子实验室报告的能力。 DSHS实验室目前 参加FDA和FERN能力测试。我们有广泛的质量 管理系统已经到位，并正在探索获得ISO 17025认证。 该实验室在方法开发和验证食品测试方面具有经验 协议。随着方法的开发和验证，DSHS实验室也可以 扩大州的食品测试能力培训我们的LRN合作伙伴的表现 这些方法。该实验室目前拥有实时具有广泛专业知识的员工 PCR，病原体分析，免疫磁分离，ELFA和ELISA技术 用于食物和环境样品。总之，该赠款申请的目标是 改善与FDA和FERN的DSHS合作。如果授予这笔赠款，德克萨斯州 欢迎有机会获得FDA和FERN实质性参与的机会 在实施该合作协议中。赠款将促进可靠 快速对食品和食品进行实验室分析的能力和能力 病原微生物或细菌毒素的检测和鉴定。这 测试将支持在激增情况下蕨类植物的增强和监视 食物样品。
