safety and health services and the prevention of work-related injury 
and illness. It is anticipated that the research funded will promote 
these program goals.
    Matters To Be Discussed: The meeting will convene in open 
session from 8-9 a.m. on June 24, 2003, to address matters related 
to the conduct of SOHSS business. The remainder of the meeting will 
proceed in closed session. The purpose of the closed sessions is for 
SOHSS to consider safety and occupational health-related grant 
applications. These portions of the meeting will be closed to the 
public in accordance with provisions set forth in section 552b(c)(4) 
and (6) title 5 U.S.C., and the Determination of the Director, 
Management Analysis and Services Office, Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention, pursuant to Public Law 92-463.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
