DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Scientific Review and Evaluation Board for Health Services
Research and Development Service, Notice of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration,
gives notice under Pub. L. 92-463, that a meeting of the Scientific
Review and Evaluation Board for Health Services Research and
Development Service will be held at the Mayflower Park Hotel, 405 Olive
Way, Seattle, WA, January 25, through 28, 2000. On January 25, the
meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and on January 26
through 28, from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. each day. The purpose of the
meeting is to review research and development applications concerned
with the measurement and evaluation of health care services and with
testing new methods of health care delivery and management.
Applications are reviewed for scientific and technical merit.
Recommendations regarding funding are prepared for the Chief Research
and Development Officer.
This meeting will be open to the public at the start of the January
25 session for approximately one half-hour to cover administrative
matters and to discuss the general status of the program. The closed
portion of the meeting involves discussion, examination, reference to,
and oral review of staff and consultant critiques of research protocols
and similar documents. During this portion of the 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 be likely to
frustrate significantly implementation of proposed agency action
regarding such research projects). As provided by the subsection 10(d)
of Pub. L. 92-463, as amended by Pub. L. 94-409, closing portions of
these meetings is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
Those who plan to attend the open session should contact the
Scientific Review Program Manager (124F), Health Research Services and
Development Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, 1400 I Street,
N.W., Suite 780, Washington, D.C., at least five days before the
meeting. For further information, call (202) 408-3665.
Dated: November 4, 1999.
By Direction of the Secretary.
Marvin R. Eason,
Committee Management Officer.
