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 Public Law 92-463, that the subcommittee for Small
Investigator-Initiated Research (S-IIR) will hold a meeting at the
Boston VA Medical Center HSR&D Conference Room, 150 S. Huntington
Avenue, Boston, MA, on November 16, 1995. The meeting is scheduled to
begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is
to review research and development applications (with budgets less than
$100,000) concerned with the measurement and evaluation of health care
systems and with testing new methods of health care delivery and
management. Applications are reviewed for scientific and technical
merit. Recommendations regarding their funding are prepared for the
Associate Chief Medical Director for Research and Development.
This meeting will be open to the public (to the seating capacity of
the room) for approximately one 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 deal with qualifications of 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
significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency action
regarding such research projects. As provided by the subsection 10(d)
of Public Law 92-463, as amended by Public Law 94-409, closing portions
of these meetings is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
Due to the limited seating capacity of the room, those who plan to
attend the open session should contact Mr. Bill Judy, Review Program
Manager (12B3), Health Services Research and Development Service,
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, (Techworld),
Washington, DC 20420 (phone: 202.565.7425) at least five days before
the meeting.
Dated: October 30, 1995.
By Direction of the Secretary.
Heyward Bannister,
Committee Management Officer.
