* Teleconference.

    The addresses of the meeting sites are:

20 F Conference Center, 20 F Street NW., Washington, DC
VA Central Office, 1100 First Street NE., Suite 600, Washington, DC

    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 various medical 
specialties within the general areas of biomedical, behavioral and 
clinical science research.
    These subcommittee meetings will be closed to the public for the 
review, discussion, and evaluation of initial and renewal research 
proposals, which involve 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 obstruct 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 Holly Krull, Ph.D., Manager, Merit Review Program 
(10P9B), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20420, at (202) 632-8522 or email at [email protected].
