DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


Scientific Review and Evaluation Board for Health Services 
Research and Development Service, Notice of Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, 
gives notice under Public Law 92-463, that a meeting of the Scientific 
Review and Evaluation Board for Health Services Research and 
Development Service will be held at the Marriott Copley Place, 110 
Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA, January 9 through January 11, 1996. The 
session on January 9, 1996, is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. and end 
at 5:00 p.m. (EST). The sessions scheduled for January 10 and 11 are 
scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. (EST). The purpose 
of the meeting is to review research and development applications 
concerned with the measurement and evaluation of health care systems 
and with testing new methods of health care delivery and management. 
Applications are reviewed for scientific and technical merit. 
Recommendations regarding their funding are prepared for the Associate 
Chief Medical Director for Research and Development.
    This meeting will be open to the public (to the seating capacity of 
the room) at the start of the January 9 session for approximately a 
half an hour to cover administrative matters and to discuss the general 
status of the program. The closed portion of the meeting involves 
discussion, examination, reference to, and oral review of staff and 
consultant critiques of research protocols, and similar documents. 
During this portion of the meeting, discussion and recommendations will 
deal with qualifications of personnel conducting the studies, the 
disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of 
personal privacy, as well as research information, the premature 
disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate 
implementation of proposed agency action regarding such research 
projects. As provided by the subsection 10(d) of Public law 92-463, as 
amended by Public Law 94-409, closing portions of these meetings is in 
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
    Due to the limited seating capacity of the room, those who plan to 
attend the open session should contact Mr. Bill Judy, Review Program 
Manager (12B3), Health Services Research and Development Service, 
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, (Techworld), 
Washington, DC 20420 (phone: 202-565-7425) at least five days before 
the meeting.

    Dated: December 7, 1995.

    By Direction of the Secretary.
Heyward Bannister,
Committee Management Officer.
