Notice of Public Meeting of the President's Emergency Plan for 
AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Scientific Advisory Board

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 
the PEPFAR Scientific Advisory Board (hereinafter referred to as ``the 
Board'') will meet from October 2-3, 2012 at the House of Sweden Event 
Center, 2900 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20007. The meeting will last 
from 9 a.m. until approximately 5 p.m. on October 2nd and from 9 a.m. 
until approximately 3 p.m. on October 3rd and is open to the public. 
The meeting will be hosted by the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS 
Coordinator, and led by Ambassador Eric Goosby, who leads 
implementation of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief 
(PEPFAR).
    The Board serves the Global AIDS Coordinator in a solely advisory 
capacity concerning scientific, implementation, and policy issues 
related to the global response to HIV/AIDS. These issues will be of 
concern as they influence the priorities and direction of PEPFAR 
evaluation and research, the content of national and international 
strategies and implementation, and the role of PEPFAR in international 
discourse regarding an appropriate and resourced response. Topics for 
the meeting will include an update on PEPFAR-funded combination 
prevention studies and implementation science awards; recommendations 
to Ambassador Goosby on key populations, children and adolescents, and 
data management; and discussions on relevant scientific topics, 
including antiretroviral therapy in pregnancy and adherence/retention 
issues.
    The public may attend this meeting as seating capacity allows. 
Admittance to the meeting will be by means of a pre-arranged clearance 
list. In order to be placed on the list and, if applicable, to request 
reasonable accommodation, please register by sending your name,

accommodation that are made after September 25 might not be possible to 
fulfill.
