Virtual Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project Plans - Chemists Overview: The ERTP virtual Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project Plans (vUFP-QAPP) course is a 4-hour virtual classroom course designed to gain participant buy-in regarding the need for QAPPs, change behaviors, and provide technical guidance regarding the review and use of the UFP-QAPP format for U.S. EPA environmental information (not just lab data) gathering activities. The course will be delivered in one of two 4-hour versions. The first version, UFP-QAPP PM, targets aspects of the UFP-QAPP that project managers/decision makers need to focus on. The second version, UFP-QAPP CH, targets aspects that chemists and other technical support specialists need to focus on. The courses teach decision makers and technical support personnel what should go into UFP-QAPPs, i.e. how to manage and review them, NOT how to write them. Target Audience: EPA Project Managers, project planners, decision makers, chemists, lab procurement specialists, technical auditors, information validators, information assessors, and QA Managers; basically, anyone involved in any phase of environmental information (not just lab data) gathering, analysis, validation, interpretation, and decision making.
