NSF-DBA has entered a partnership with the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA) and the National Center for Natural Products Research (NCNPR) at the University of Mississippi to offer a new training program to the dietary supplement industry. The program “The Dietary Supplement Quality Professional Training" (DSQP) is designed for dietary supplement quality and technical professionals and will offer participants technical, scientific and regulatory knowledge. The training will be offered in three locations throughout the country: Ann Arbor, MI; Salt Lake City; and Oxford, MS. Based on the requirements set forth in the current GMPs (good manufacturing practices) in manufacturing, packaging, labeling or holding operations for dietary supplements (21 CFR 111), the DSQP training consists of a series of 12 modules offered over a one-year period. They are designed to provide the knowledge and skills expected of today’s dietary supplement quality and technical professional. Each module consists of a mix of lectures and group exercises, maximizing the learning for the participants. For further information: www.nsf.org
