Regulatory science track of the 2024 aphl annual conference - FOA PAR-23-072 regulatory science track of the 2024 aphl annual conference project summary/abstract aphl has the experience and competence to effectively add a high-quality regulatory science track to the 2024 aphl annual conference in milwaukee, WI, in may of 2024 using the approach described in the proposal. This in-person event for the public health laboratory community brings together leaders, scientists, policy makers, regulators, and partners to share issues, trends and best practices driving public health. Explorations in the realm of regulatory science in the setting of the 2024 aphl annual conference will enable public health officials to improve submission of high-quality data for regulatory action, improve investigations that rely on food testing and human illness data, and reduce foodborne illnesses and deaths overall. This purpose aligns with ORA's commitment to building laboratory capacity and capability, supporting the groundbreaking work achieved through the genometrakr network, continuing the successes of state laboratories funded under the flexible funding model cooperative agreements, and integrating the food testing community with regulatory and public health partners. A limited number of plenary and breakout sessions will be recorded and made available after the conference on the aphl learning center (ALC) for a fee.
