The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs) set specific expectations for personnel involved in studies supporting applications for research or marketing permits for pesticide products regulated by the agency.  These personnel include Study Sponsor, Test Facility Management, Study Director, and Quality Assurance.  The intent of the regulations with regards to Personnel (40 CFR 160, Subpart B) is to ensure that you have the right people for the job and that they are held accountable for critical and interconnecting pieces of a study. <br/> <br/>The purpose of this presentation is to go over the responsibilities of each one of these roles within an EPA GLP study, explain how they can interact with each other most effectively, and introduce the functions of other important team member not defined in the EPA GLPs, such as study monitor and principal investigator.  The speaker will also discuss valuable tools and work processes- communication plans, delegations of authority, and status reports, among others- that can be used to aid in these interactions, thus allowing studies to proceed smoothly and in compliance with the regulations.
