RESEARCH STRATEGY Project Abstract for Both Competition A and B The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) is soliciting a Cooperative Agreement to provide financial support for additional personnel, travel costs and equipment needs to support the animal feed regulatory program as it moves into conformance with the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS) as presented by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). SCDA also seeks funding to become a key building integrated into the nation’s food and feed safety system through obtaining ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation for its animal feed laboratory. A significant portion f the funding stream (from Competition B) will be dedicated to purchasing equipment adding full time employees, and providing employee training that is required to obtain the international standards of which this accreditation symbolizes. In September 2014, SCDA began taking steps towards implementing the AFRPS. These measures include amending the SC Commercial Feed Act to reflect the AAFCO Model Feed Bill, developing drafts of several Standard Operating Procedures pertaining to feed safety, and maintaining a full time Animal Feed Control Official position on staff within the Consumer Protection Division (CPD). The Animal Feed Control Official serves as a volunteer with the FDA workgroup in reviewing and making suggestive edits to the AFRPS Standards. SCDA leadership is now soliciting federal funds to assist in building the capacity of the SC animal feed regulatory program and the laboratory capabilities as the Appropriated Funds set forth by the South Carolina General Assembly for the annual budget of these services present a significant barrier. This financial barrier will continue to impose upon the SCDA’s ability to expand, improve, and evolve the regulatory activities in SC, and thus gives reason for this solicitation. With available funding to implement the AFRPS and obtain ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory accreditation, additional full time regulatory and laboratory employees will be hired to coordinate and implement the programs. Funds will make significant equipment upgrades and additions to the laboratory’s current inventory possible, and infrastructure improvements like computer hardware will take place in both areas.

研究策略 竞赛A和B的项目摘要 南卡罗来纳州农业部（SCDA）正在征求合作协议， 为额外的人员、差旅费和设备需求提供财政支持， 动物饲料监管计划，因为它符合动物饲料 美国食品药品监督管理局提出的监管计划标准（AFRPS） 管理局（FDA）。SCDA还寻求资金，以成为一个关键的建设纳入 通过获得ISO/IEC 17025：2005认证， 动物饲料实验室资金流的很大一部分（来自竞赛B）将是 致力于采购设备，增加全职员工，并提供员工培训 这是获得本认证所象征的国际标准所必需的。 2014年9月，SCDA开始采取措施实施AFRPS。这些 措施包括修改SC商业饲料法，以反映AAFCO示范饲料 法案，制定有关饲料安全的几个标准操作程序草案，以及 在消费者内部保持全职动物饲料控制官员职位 保护司。动物饲料控制官员作为FDA的志愿者 审查并对AFRPS标准进行建议性编辑。SCDA 领导层现在正在寻求联邦资金，以帮助建立SC动物饲料的能力 监管计划和实验室能力作为拨款资金规定的 南卡罗来纳州大会为这些服务的年度预算提出了一个重大的 屏障这一财政障碍将继续影响SCDA的扩张能力， 改进和发展SC的监管活动，从而为这一请求提供理由。 利用现有资金实施AFRPS并获得ISO/IEC 17025：2005实验室认证 认证，额外的全职监管和实验室员工将被雇用，以协调 并实施这些方案。资金将用于重大的设备升级和增加， 实验室目前的库存可能，和基础设施的改善，如计算机 硬件将在这两个领域进行。
