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

项目摘要 FDA Vet-LRN项目和北卡罗来纳州州立大学（NCSU） 兽医学有一个重要的总体使命， 人类健康和福祉。作为我们使命的一部分，NCSU兽医学院 兽医健康综合体（VHC）是一个最先进的转诊中心。 兽医医疗中心NCSU VHC拥有现有的实验室设施， 初级诊断支持服务，为近22,000名患者看到的VHC每个 年这些实验室，临床病理学，临床微生物学，组织病理学， 尸检服务，已协调并接受参与Vet-LRN 作为Tier 1实验室。因此，NCSU VHC实验室可以作为 监测和紧急疫情兽医诊断分析资源 Vet-LRN计划指导的病理、微生物或化学制剂 并与NCSU项目管理部门协调。我们的设施，资源， 在发生大规模食品/药品紧急情况时，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 医学使命，以及兽医-LRN计划的使命， 信息、建立实验室能力和培训科学家。我们的目标是建立一个 与FDA的Vet-LRN计划达成合作协议，以便我们能够确保我们的 实验室有基础设施和能力，以最好地应对任何兽医-LRN 程序请求。此外，一项合作协议将使我们的实验室能够计划 并参加实验室培训活动，如能力测试，以确保 适当的方法和质量控制管理技术用于以下情况： 一个事件NCSU VHC实验室致力于并将积极参与 Vet-LRN计划的必要性。

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.
