Providing analytical data using standardized methods, equipment platforms, and reporting methods; participation in proficiency testing and method training provided by the Vet-LIRN Program Office (VPO) at the Center for Veterinary Medicine; and implementation of standardized quality management systems for laboratories. 3. Participation in small-scale method development, method validation and/or matrix extension work as determined by the VPO. A successful implementation of the project outlined in the proposal is predicted for many reasons including the extensive experience of AzVDL’s professional and technical staff. The qualifications of the technical and professional staff are presented. As part of the proposal, a detailed view of the laboratory facilities and quality system are provided. This grant proposal also addresses the CVM request for sample analysis commitment as well as the laboratory’s ability and willingness to complete the proposed research in a timely manner.
