Educating educators in GLP documentation.
Professionals in academia usually are not trained in documenting their research activities to the extent and detail mandated under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations. To assist researchers at the University of Arizona in implementing a GLP program, the university's Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) has written procedures and checklists detailing various aspects of GLPs. Since a key to the successful implementation of GLPs is comprehensive documentation in laboratory notebooks of research activities, information and guidelines are provided in a checklist format. Training seminars are also provided to discuss the use of the checklists. Checklists in conjunction with training seminars provide an important mechanism to ensure that all appropriate information has been recorded for verifiable, reproducible, and traceable documentation of project study results.
