*Teleconference.

    The purpose of the subcommittees is to provide advice on the 
scientific quality, budget, safety and mission relevance of 
investigator-initiated research proposals submitted for VA merit review 
evaluation. Proposals submitted for review include numerous medical 
specialties within the general areas of biomedical, behavioral and 
clinical science research.
    The subcommittee meetings will be closed to the public for the 
review, discussion, and evaluation of initial and renewal research 
proposals. However, the JBL/CS SMRB teleconference meeting will be open 
to the public. Members of the public who wish to attend the open JBL/CS 
SMRB teleconference may dial 1-800-767-1750, participant code 95562. 
Members of the public who wish to make a statement at the JBL/CS SMRB 
meeting must notify Dr. Alex Chiu via email at [email protected] by June 
9, 2015.
    The closed subcommittee meetings involve discussion, examination, 
and reference to staff and consultant critiques of research proposals. 
Discussions will deal with scientific merit of each proposal and 
qualifications of personnel conducting the studies, the disclosure of 
which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal 
privacy. Additionally, premature disclosure of research information 
could significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency action 
regarding the research proposals. As provided by subsection 10(d) of 
Public Law 92-463, as amended by Public Law 94-409, closing the 
subcommittee meetings is in accordance with Title 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) 
and (9)(B).
    Those who would like to obtain a copy of the minutes from the 
closed subcommittee meetings and rosters of the subcommittee members 
should contact Alex Chiu, Ph.D., Manager, Merit Review Program (10P9B), 
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC

Advisory Committee Management Officer.
