Increasing capability and capacity in an integrated food safety collaboration

具体目标 阿肯色州卫生部的阿肯色州公共卫生实验室(APHL)一直是 食品和药物管理局(FDA)食品应急网络(FERN)的积极成员 自2009年以来。APHL提议继续作为化学合作社的一部分参加。 协议，提供支持粮食防御的准备，通过以下方式提高能力和能力 新方法的应用和现有蕨类方法的扩展，并与 FDA、州和地方实验室提供食品安全和保障。 APHL的使命是通过高质量的实验室科学、领导力和 创新。作为蕨类合作协议的成员，APHL正在履行其对国家的责任 并建议在弗恩的支持下继续这样做。 这项建议的具体目标是： 1)保持食品防御战备状态。 2)对感兴趣的食品商品进行监测。 3)通过实施和验证新技术和方法来提高能力。 这些目标使国家和FDA在食品安全和保障方面的倡议保持一致。具体地说，APHL 建议通过以下蕨类路线实现这些具体目标： ·学科B：化学。分析轨道1：食品防御。 ·学科B：化学。分析轨道2：人类食品产品检测。 ·学科B：化学。分析轨道4：化学能力/能力发展。 APHL和FDA之间的相互依赖通过依赖于 一个综合的食品安全合作。APHL建议继续这一合作，以监测和 保护当地和全国的粮食供应。

Specific Aims The Arkansas Public Health Laboratory (APHL) at the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has been an active member of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) since 2009. The APHL proposes to continue its participation as a part of the chemistry cooperative agreement by providing readiness in support of food defense, increasing capability and capacity through the application of new methodologies and expansion of current FERN methods, and being integrated with FDA, state, and local laboratories to provide food safety and security. The mission of the APHL is to protect Arkansans through quality laboratory science, leadership, and innovation. As a member of the FERN cooperative agreement, the APHL is fulfilling its duty to the state and proposes to continue to do so with the support of FERN. The specific aims of this proposal are: 1) Maintain readiness for food defense. 2) Conduct surveillance of food commodities of interest. 3) Increase capability by implementing and validating new technologies and methodologies. These aims align the state and FDA initiatives regarding food safety and security. Specifically, the APHL proposes to meet these specific aims through the following FERN Tracks: • Discipline B: Chemistry. Analytical Track 1: Food Defense. • Discipline B: Chemistry. Analytical Track 2: Human Food Product Testing. • Discipline B: Chemistry. Analytical Track 4: Chemistry Capability/Capacity Development. The mutual reliance between the APHL and FDA serves both state and national interests by relying upon an integrated food safety collaboration. The APHL proposes to continue this collaboration to surveil and protect the local and national food supply.
