SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Special Emphasis Panel is a group of

the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and agree to be 
available, to conduct on an as needed basis, scientific reviews of 
applications for AHRQ support. Individual members of the Panel do not 
attend regularly-scheduled meetings and do not serve for fixed terms or 
a long period of time. Rather, they are asked to participate in 
particular review meetings which require their type of expertise.
    Substantial segments of the SEP meeting referenced above will be 
closed to the public in accordance with the provisions set forth in 5 
U.S.C. App. 2, section 10(d), 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), and 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(6). Grant applications for ``AHRQ Patient Centered Outcomes 
Research (PCOR) Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00)'' are to be 
reviewed and discussed at this meeting. The grant applications and the 
discussions could disclose confidential trade secrets or commercial 
property such as patentable material, and personal information 
concerning individuals associated with the grant applications, the 
disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of 
personal privacy.
