    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,
