项目摘要/摘要 公共卫生实验室协会(APHL)的这项提案的目的是 推进国家综合食品安全体系的目标，增加 国家实验室对国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年认证的准备情况，并支持 参与FDA GenomeTrakr网络的实验室。 APHL将： ·开发培训、讲习班和其他教育材料和资源以供使用 由GenomeTrakr实验室和国家实验室寻求实现、维护或 加强对国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年标准的认证 ·计划并主办GenomeTrakr年度面对面会议 ·向非食品和药物管理局资助的食品检测实验室提供直接技术援助 寻求国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年标准的认可 这些努力将满足以下各个实验室和广泛的培训需求 国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年实验室认可和全基因组测序 GenomeTrackr网络。我们将提供论坛，以加强沟通和 联邦、州和地方人类和动物食品检测实验室之间的合作 和其他GenomeTrackr实验室。对成功的衡量将与所说的相反 指标，在与资助机构协商后进行了改进。 该提案继续与监管科学办公室开展有价值的合作工作 和FDA的伙伴关系办公室。作为代表州和地方的协会 实验室，APHL可以有效和高效地推进本合作社的目标 达成协议。50多年来，我们一直履行着教育、培训和提供 向我们的成员提供技术援助，并提出定义该领域的实践指南。 利用我们的经验将使FDA更好地与州和 地方政府构建综合食品安全体系实现全国公开化 健康目标。

Project Summary/Abstract The purpose of this proposal from the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) is to advance the goal of a national Integrated Food Safety System by increasing the readiness of state laboratories for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation and by supporting the laboratories that participate in FDA's GenomeTrakr network. APHL will: • Develop trainings, workshops and other educational materials and resources for use by GenomeTrakr laboratories and state laboratories seeking to achieve, maintain or enhance accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard • Plan and host the annual GenomeTrakr face-to-face meeting • Provide direct technical assistance to non-FDA funded food testing laboratories seeking accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard These efforts will meet individual laboratory and broad-based training needs around ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory accreditation and whole genome sequencing for the GenomeTrackr network. We will provide forums to improve communication and collaboration between federal, state and local human and animal food testing laboratories and other GenomeTrackr laboratories. Measurement of success will be against stated metrics, refined in consultation with the funding agency. This proposal continues valuable collaborative work with the Office of Regulatory Science and Office of Partnerships at FDA. As the Association representing state and local laboratories, APHL can effectively and efficiently advance the goals of this Cooperative Agreement. For over 50 years, we have met the responsibility to educate, train and provide technical assistance to our members and put forth practice guidelines that define the field. Leveraging our experience will better position FDA to work in partnership with state and local authorities to build an Integrated Food Safety System and achieve national public health goals.
