The number of university laboratories participating in good laboratory practices (GLP) studies is on the rise, as evidenced by the increase in university personnel that have joined the Society of Quality Assurance (SQA) during the past decade. However, the road to GLP compliance in the university setting has significant challenges. To evaluate how universities have implemented and managed GLP studies, a survey was conducted of SQA members with a university address. The results are described in this article. At Virginia‐Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM), we have been participating in GLP studies since 1989. Studies are conducted by research or clinical faculty members, with quality assurance (QA) provided by the College Quality Assurance Unit. Since the inception of our GLP Program, VMRCVM has made significant progress toward meeting the challenges of regulatory compliance.
