Under the direction of the mentor, the participant will support the laboratory data review process improvement project. In the course of this project, the participant will learn to perform quality data review of laboratory data generated by in-house and contractor laboratories using EPA, OSHA, ASTM and various other analytical methods performed by a Public Health laboratory. The ORISE participant will need a broad base of knowledge across instruments and methods in order to assist with the data review process and the project. 5+ years experience in an environmental laboratory would be the minimum acceptable to participate in the project. The ultimate goal of the project is to produce a checklist that can be used across analyses and contractors to ensure that the required information (comments, required QC, initial calibration, continuing calibration verifications, blanks, etc.) is included in the data packet.

Skills: Experience using Microsoft Office software applications (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), Adobe, and a LIMS system.
