    (a) Third-Party Payments Regarding Certain Clinical Trials.--The 
Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of 
the National Institutes of Health, shall conduct a study for the 
purpose of--
            (1) determining the policies of third-party payors 
        regarding the payment of the costs of appropriate health 
        services that are provided incident to the participation of 
        individuals as subjects in clinical trials conducted in the 
        development of drugs with respect to acquired immune deficiency 
        syndrome; and
            (2) developing recommendations regarding such policies.
    (b) Advisory Committees.--The Secretary of Health and Human 
Services, acting through the Director of the National Institutes of

        committees established in the National Institutes of Health 
        regarding acquired immune deficiency syndrome are being 
        coordinated sufficiently; and
            (2) whether the functions of any of such advisory 
        committees should be modified in order to achieve greater 
        efficiency.
    (c) Vaccines for Human Immunodeficiency Virus.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Health and Human 
        Services, acting through the National Institutes of Health,

        the National Institutes of Health concerning the safety and 
        efficacy of HIV vaccines for the treatment and prevention of 
        HIV infection. Such plan shall ensure the full participation of 
        other Federal agencies currently conducting HIV vaccine studies 
        and require that such studies conform fully to the requirements 
        of part 46 of title 45, Code of Federal Regulations.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the

SEC. 1902. MALNUTRITION IN THE ELDERLY.

    (a) Study.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
        (referred to in this section as the ``Secretary''), acting 
        through the National Institute on Aging, coordinating with the 
        Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and, to the degree 
        possible, in consultation with the head of the National 
        Nutrition Monitoring System established under section 1428 of 
        the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 (7 U.S.C. 3178), shall 
        conduct a 3-year nutrition screening and intervention 
        activities study of the elderly.
            (2) Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of nutrition screening 
        and intervention activities.--In conducting the study, the 
        Secretary shall determine the efficacy and cost-effectiveness 
        of nutrition screening and intervention activities conducted in 
        the elderly health and long-term care continuum, and of a 
        program that would institutionalize nutrition screening and 
        intervention activities. In evaluating such a program, the 
        Secretary shall determine--
                    (A) if health or quality of life is measurably 
                improved for elderly individuals who receive routine 
                nutritional screening and treatment;
                    (B) if federally subsidized home or institutional 
                care is reduced because of increased independence of 
                elderly individuals resulting from improved nutritional 
                status;
                    (C) if a multidisciplinary approach to nutritional 
                care is effective in addressing the nutritional needs 
                of elderly individuals; and
                    (D) if reimbursement for nutrition screening and 
                intervention activities is a cost-effective approach to 
                improving the health status of elderly individuals.
            (3) Populations.--The populations of elderly individuals in 
        which the study will be conducted shall include populations of
