# CVM Vet-LIRN Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Program

> **NIH FDA U18** · PURDUE UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $41,400

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract:
Through this cooperative agreement, the Indiana ADDL at Purdue University with its diagnostic
personnel and testing capabilities, will work with the FDA CVM Vet-LIRN to meet its goal to
complement, develop, improve and use university, state, and federal veterinary diagnostic
laboratories testing programs. This will be done by addressing three key project areas: 1) through
participation in FDA/Vet-LIRN sample analysis, 2) by providing analytical data to support
potential regulatory use, and 3) through participation in additional projects such as small-scale
method development and/or method validation and matrix extension work as determined by the
Vet-LIRN Program Office (VPO). In the event that laboratory surge capacity is needed by Vet-
LIRN and the FDA for analyses related to microbiological or chemical contamination, either
through intentional or unintentional means, participation of the Indiana ADDL will help enable
the analyses of animal diagnostic samples and animal food/drug products submitted to the
ADDL through Vet-LIRN. Analyses of samples by the ADDL and other veterinary diagnostic
laboratories will facilitate early detection of animal food/drug adulteration or contamination
contributing to overall food safety for animals and humans. In addition, the ADDL will work
with the FDA CVM and other network laboratories to facilitate methods standardization, training
and proficiency testing.
