Primary Network Lab (PNL) Contact Assignments for CTU/CRS Labs

Simplifying communications between CTU/CRS laboratories, Network Laboratories, and other groups is a high priority for cross-network laboratory coordination. Many CTU/CRS laboratories are affiliated with multiple networks which has made communication between these groups increasingly complicated. To address this communication issue, a Primary Network Laboratory (PNL) has been identified to serve as the primary point of contact for each CTU/CRS laboratory for laboratory-related issues.

The PNL will be responsible for communicating relevant information from the CTU/CRS laboratories to all other Network Laboratories that are affiliated with the site. PNL affiliations will be reevaluated over time, and all relevant groups will be informed when changes are made to PNL assignments. CTU/CRS laboratories will be instructed to copy the PNL contact on all correspondence with pSMILE, VQA, IQA, CPQA, FSTRF, SCHARP, and UK NEQAS on all lab-related issues. These groups will also be asked to copy the appropriate PNL for the site using the group email alias/logon when they communicate with a CTU/CRS laboratory.

Use the column headings to sort and filter the items in the list below.

Contact your PNL, or submit a question about the PNL assignments.
