DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Rehabilitation Research and Development Scientific Review and
Evaluation Board Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee for Cooperative
Studies, and Health Services and Rehabilitation Research and
Development; Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs gives notice under Public Law
92-463 (Federal Advisory Committee Act) as amended, by section 5(c) of
Public Law 94-409 that a meeting of the Rehabilitation Research and
Development Scientific Review and Evaluation Board Subcommittee of the
Advisory Committee for Cooperative Studies, and Health Services and
Rehabilitation Research and Development will be held at the Vista
International Hotel, 1400 ``M'' Street NW., Washington, DC, on January
10 through January 13, 1995.
The session on January 10, 1995, is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
and end at 9:30 p.m. The sessions on January 11, 12, 13, 1995, are
scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. The purpose of the
meeting is to review rehabilitation research and development
applications for scientific and technical merit and to make
recommendations to the Director, Rehabilitation Research and
Development Services, regarding their funding.
The meeting will be open to the public up to the seating capacity
of the room for the January 10 session for the discussion of
administrative matters, the general status of the program, and the
administrative details of the review process. On January 11-13, 1995
the meeting is closed during which the Board will be reviewing research
and development applications.
This review involves oral comments, discussion of site visits,
staff, and consultant critiques of proposed research protocols, and
similar analytical documents that necessitate the consideration of the
personal qualifications, performance and competence of individual
research investigators. Disclosure of such information would constitute
a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Disclosure would
also reveal research proposals and research underway which could lead
to the loss of these projects to third parties and thereby frustrate
future agency research efforts.
Thus, the closing is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 522b(c)(6), and
(c)(9)(B) and the determination of the Secretary of the Department of
Veterans Affairs under Sections 10(d) of Pub. L. 92-463 as amended by
Section 5(c) of Pub. L. 94-409.
Due to the limited seating capacity of the room, those who plan to
attend the open session should write to Ms. Victoria Mongiardo, Program
Analyst, Rehabilitation Research and Development Service, Department of
Veterans Affairs, 103 South Gay Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202
(Phone: 410-962-2563) at least five days before the meeting.
Dated: December 12, 1994.
Heyward Bannister,
Committee Management Officer.
