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 a meeting of the Scientific
Review and Evaluation Board for Health Services Research and
Development Service will be held at the Westin, 1400 M Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C., June 23 through June 25, 1997, from 8:00 a.m. until
5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) each day. The purpose of the meeting is to
review research and development applications 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 Chief Research and Development
Officer (12).
This meeting will be open to the public at the start of the June 23
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 deal with the 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 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. E. William Judy, MSHA,
Review Program Manager (124F), Health Services Research and Development
Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, N.W.,
Washington,
