 Abstract for FOA PAR-20-105 
 Laboratory Flexible Funding Model 
Discipline C (Radiochemistry): Track 2 Capacity/Capability Development 
Specific Aims 
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) State Public Health Laboratory 
(MSPHL) seeks FDA cooperative agreement funding opportunity build additional capability and 
expand the national capacity in radiochemical areas of emerging technology and/or where FDA 
has identified a specific need. The Missouri State Public Health Laboratory (MSPHL) plans to 
expand our radionuclide testing capability to include alpha emitters. 
The goals and outcomes of this project include the following: 
 1. Upgrade equipment to analyze for alpha emitters. 
 2. Train staff in the analysis of foods for alpha emitters. 
 3. Demonstrate competency through a proficiency test offered by a suitable proficiency 
 testing program, or if unavailable, a laboratory developed competency exercise. 
 4. Attend the annual LFFM Face-to-Face Meeting.
