OVERALL PROJECT SUMMARY: Serious foodborne illness resulting from contaminated food is a persistent and largely preventable public health problem that receives national attention every year. Dramatic advances in technology have placed large-scale systematic food surveillance testing on the verge of transforming national strategy from outbreak management to informed prevention. Realizing this revolutionary milestone depends on implementing and integrating sensitive, precise, and high-throughput scientific methods, sophisticated instrumentation, and unprecedented information connectivity. The overarching aim of this proposal is to contribute a comprehensive and integrated food protection laboratory hub from the state of Maryland that is capable of analyzing food across many diverse threat priorities to the national Food Emergency Response Network. Extensive food testing capabilities across microbiology, chemistry, and radiochemistry disciplines are all housed within a single and unified Division of Environmental Sciences of the MDH Laboratories Administration. The current 14-track multifaceted proposal seeks to integrate and strengthen the Laboratory’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited methods, cutting-edge instrumentation, and expanded food surveillance testing activities across all disciplines with the goal of protecting the nation’s food supply. Moreover, with a steadfast commitment to constant improvement, the Laboratory further strives to implement the newest testing methods, expand capacity of key capabilities, and participate in developmental activities with state and national partners. Finally, the proposal places a high priority on offering young scientists opportunities to join public health service. The outcome of this extensive and integrated plan should provide meaningful large-scale surveillance data to regulatory partners, and define underlying food safety vulnerabilities to inform national protective strategies of the future.

总体项目摘要： 被污染的食物引起的严重食源性疾病是一种持续的，在很大程度上可以预防的公众 每年都会受到国家关注的健康问题。技术的急剧进步已取得 大规模的系统性食品监视测试，即将国家战略从 爆发管理以告知预防。意识到这个革命的里程碑取决于 实施和集成敏感，精确和高通量科学方法，精致 仪器和前所未有的信息连接。该提议的总体目的是 从状态 马里兰州能够分析国家食品的许多潜水员威胁优先事项的食品 紧急响应网络。微生物学，化学和 放射化学学科全部都安置在环境科学的单一和统一的划分中 MDH Laboratories Administration。当前的14轨多面提案旨在集成 并加强实验室的ISO/IEC 17025：2017认证的方法，尖端仪器， 并扩大了所有学科的食品监视测试活动，以保护 国家的粮食供应。此外，实验室坚定地致力于不断改进 进一步努力实施最新的测试方法，扩大关键能力的能力以及 与州和国家合作伙伴一起参加发展活动。最后，该提议提高了 优先提供年轻科学家加入公共卫生服务的机会。结果的结果 广泛而综合的计划应提供有意义的大规模监视数据以进行监管 合作伙伴，并将基本的食品安全漏洞定义为信息的信息国家保护策略 未来。
