A cooperative agreement between NC State University and the FDA Vet-LRN

项目总结 FDA Vet-LRN计划和北卡罗来纳州立大学(NCSU) 兽医有一个重要的首要使命，就是促进动物和 人类的健康和福祉。作为我们使命的一部分，NCSU兽医学院 医学包含兽医健康综合体(VHC)，这是一个最先进的转诊机构 兽医中心。NCSU VHC现有的实验室设施可提供 为VHC每人看望的近22,000名患者提供初级诊断支持服务 年。这些实验室、临床病理学、临床微生物学、组织病理学和 尸检服务，已被协调并接受参加VET-LRN 计划作为第1级实验室。因此，NCSU VHC实验室可以作为 用于监测和紧急暴发的兽医诊断分析资源 Vet-LRN计划指示的病理、微生物或化学制剂 办公室，并与NCSU项目管理协调。我们的设施，资源， 在发生大规模食品/药物紧急情况时，人员专业知识将是有用的。 通过参与该计划，我们正在为NCSU兽医学院做出贡献 医学任务，以及VET-LRN计划的任务，为科学提供 信息，建设实验室能力，培训科学家。我们的目标是建立一个 与FDA的VET-LRN计划达成合作协议，以便我们可以确保我们的 实验室拥有最好地应对任何VET-LRN的基础设施和能力 程序请求。此外，一项合作协议将允许我们的实验室计划 并参加实验室培训活动，如能力测试，以确保 在以下情况下使用适当的方法和质量控制管理技术 一件大事。NCSU VHC实验室致力于并将积极参与 VET-LRN计划的需要。

PROJECT SUMMARY The FDA Vet-LRN program and the North Carolina State University (NCSU) College of Veterinary Medicine share an important overarching mission to promote animal and human health and well-being. As part of our mission, the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine houses the Veterinary Health Complex (VHC), a state-of-the-art referral veterinary medical center. The NCSU VHC has existing laboratory facilities that provide primary diagnostic support services for the nearly 22,000 patients seen by the VHC each year. These laboratories, Clinical Pathology, Clinical Microbiology, Histopathology, and Necropsy Services, have been coordinated and accepted to participate in the Vet-LRN program as a Tier 1 laboratory. As such, the NCSU VHC laboratories can serve as a resource for surveillance and emergency outbreak veterinary diagnostic analysis of pathological, microbiological, or chemical agents as directed by the Vet-LRN program office and in coordination with NCSU program management. Our facilities, resources, and personnel expertise will be useful in the event of a large-scale food/drug emergency. By participating in the program we are contributing to the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine mission, as well as the mission of the Vet-LRN program to provide scientific information, build laboratory capacity, and train scientists. Our aim is to establish a cooperative agreement with the FDA's Vet-LRN program so that we can ensure our laboratories have the infrastructure and capacity to best respond to any Vet-LRN program request. In addition, a cooperative agreement will allow our laboratories to plan and participate in laboratory training exercises, such as proficiency testing, to ensure appropriate methods and quality control management techniques are used in the case of an event. The NCSU VHC laboratories are committed to and will be actively engaged in the need of the Vet-LRN program.
