Description:
By nature, working groups focused on sharing and improving analytical methods are primarily comprised of those who actively work on method development research. As part of the Benchmarking and Publications for Non-Targeted Analysis working group (BP4NTA), we recognize that the potential audience for our products extends far beyond our current membership. Non-targeted analysis (NTA) using high resolution mass spectrometry is valuable for a wide range of applications including environmental monitoring, food safety evaluation, human exposure and biomonitoring, forensic science, epidemiology, chemical threat detection, and more. Stakeholders who can benefit from implementing current NTA workflows and developments in NTA science include scientists who run these analyses in the lab, as well as those who may use NTA data for developing new environmental, food safety and health policies. The BP4NTA Stakeholder subcommittee is working to engage with stakeholders from various fields through a series of meetings, workshops, and surveys where the main goal will be to listen to the attendees, learn about the strongest drivers for NTA adoption, and clarify primary limitations preventing these potential stakeholders from collecting and utilizing NTA data. The subcommittee is further planning to develop instructional materials such as fact sheets and videos to introduce NTA and fill in common stakeholder knowledge gaps. These resources will be made publicly available through the BP4NTA website (https://nontargetedanalysis.org/), enabling easy access for users across diverse fields. Outcomes from these initial efforts will establish a framework for enabling broader implementation of NTA workflows. Our long-term goals include collaborating with stakeholders to develop guidance materials and creating standardized NTA methods. In this presentation, we will share findings from the stakeholder meetings and workshops we have hosted so far and show content from the materials we have developed. In addition, we hope this presentation will prompt additional feedback so we can further improve these materials and facilitate additional collaborations with stakeholders across the globe
