invited by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and 
agree to be available, to conduct, on an as needed basis, scientific 
reviews of applications for AHRQ support. Individual members of the 
Panel do not attend regularly-scheduled meetings and do not serve for 
fixed terms or long periods of time. Rather, they are asked to 
participate in particular review meetings which require their type of 
expertise.
