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 
a long period of time. Rather, they are asked to participate in 
particular review meetings which require their type of expertise.

Disseminating Patient Centered Outcomes Research to Improve Healthcare 
Delivery Systems (R18)'' are to be reviewed and discussed at this 
meeting. The grant applications and the discussions could disclose 
confidential trade secrets or commercial property such as patentable 
material, and personal information concerning individuals associated 
with the grant applications, the disclosure of which would constitute a 
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

    Dated: December 17, 2013.
Richard Kronick,
AHRQ Director.
