and the protection of human and animal subjects.
Each subcommittee meeting of the Board will be open to the public
the first day for approximately one half-hour from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30
a.m. at the start of the meeting to cover administrative matters and to
discuss the general status of the program. Members of the public who
wish to attend the open portion of the subcommittee meetings may dial 1
(800) 767-1750, participant code 10443.
The remaining portion of each subcommittee meeting will be closed
(8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) for the discussion, examination, reference to,
and oral review of the intramural research proposals and critiques.
During the closed portion of each subcommittee meeting, discussion and
recommendations will include qualifications of the 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 likely compromise
significantly the implementation of proposed agency action regarding
such research projects). Closing the meetings is in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 552b (c)(6) and (c)(9)(B).
Oral or written comments will be accepted from the public only for
the open portion of the meetings. Those who plan to attend the open
portion of a subcommittee meeting should contact Ms. Liza Catucci, MPH,
HSR&D Administrative Officer, Department of Veterans Affairs, Health
Services Research and Development Service (10X2H), 810 Vermont Avenue
NW, Washington, DC 20420, or by email at [email protected]. For
further information, please call Ms. Catucci at (202) 443-5797.
