# Discipline D: Special Project 2. NFSDX and ORAPP Integration

> **NIH FDA U19** · MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $20,000

## Abstract

Abstract 
In response to the FDA's Laboratory Flexible Funding Model program announcement, the 
Mississippi State Chemical Laboratory (MSCL) has submitted a robust proposal titled 
“Enhancement of Mississippi's Capabilities in Integrated Food Safety Partnerships.” This plan 
encompasses six projects: 
• Discipline B: Chemistry, Analytical Track 1. Food Defense (Years 1-5) 
• Discipline B: Chemistry, Analytical Track 2. Human Food Product Testing (Years 1-5) 
• Discipline B: Chemistry, Analytical Track 3. Animal Food Product Testing (Years 1-5) 
• Discipline D: Special Projects 1. Sample Collection (Years 1-5) 
• Discipline D: Special Projects 2. NFSDX and ORAPP Integration (Year 1 only) 
• Discipline D: Special Projects 3. Method Development/Validation (Year 2 only) 
Information science or data sharing refers to the collection; organization, storage, exchange, 
interpretation, and use of information are critical to the success of a risk-based decision-making. The 
FDA has established National Food Safety Date Exchange (NFSDX) as a secure food safety data-sharing 
network that allows health officials from multiple government agencies to access, share, and analyze 
food-testing results from state and federal labs. Recognizing the importance of real time data sharing 
plays in food safety the MSCL has proposed a comprehensive plan to streamline data upload to the ORA 
Partner Portal.
