Health and Care on August 22-23, 2017;
     HSR 3--Healthcare Informatics from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
on August 24, 2017, and 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on August 25, 2017;

     NRI--Nursing Research Initiative from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 
p.m. on August 24, 2017.
    The purpose of the Board is to review health services research and 
development applications involving: The measurement and evaluation of 
health care services; the testing of new methods of health care 
delivery and management; and nursing research. Applications are 
reviewed for scientific and technical merit, mission relevance, and the 
protection of human and animal subjects. Recommendations regarding 
funding are submitted to the Chief Research and Development Officer.
    Each subcommittee meeting of the Board will be open to the public 
the first day for approximately one half-hour from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 
a.m. at the start of the meeting on August 22 (HSR 1, 2), August 23 
(HSR 1, 2, 6), August 23-24 (HSR 5), August 24 (CDA, NRI), and August 
24-25 (HSR 3, 4) to cover administrative matters and to discuss the 
general status of the program. Members of the public who wish to attend 
the open portion of the subcommittee meetings may dial 1-800-767-1750, 
participant code 10443#.
    The remaining portion of each subcommittee meeting will be closed 
for the discussion, examination, reference to, and oral review of the 
intramural research proposals and critiques. During the closed portion 
of each subcommittee meeting, discussion and recommendations will 
include 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 likely compromise significantly the 
implementation of proposed agency action regarding such research 
projects). As provided by subsection 10(d) of
    Public Law 92-463, as amended by Public Law 94-409, closing the 
meeting is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
    No oral or written comments will be accepted from the public for 
either portion of the meetings. Those who plan to participate during 
the open portion of a subcommittee meeting should contact Ms. Liza 
Catucci, Administrative Officer, Department of Veterans Affairs, Health 
Services Research and Development Service (10P9H), 810 Vermont Avenue 
NW., Washington, DC 20420, or by email at [email protected]. For 
further information, please call Ms. Catucci at (202) 443-5797.
