Notice of Public Meeting of the President's Emergency Plan for 
AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Scientific Advisory Board

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 
the PEPFAR Scientific Advisory Board (hereinafter referred to as ``the 
Board'') will meet from October 2-3, 2013 at the Sheraton Crystal City 
at 1800 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, Virginia 22202. The meeting 
will last from 9 a.m. until approximately 5 p.m. on October 2nd and 
from 9 a.m. until approximately 3 p.m. on October 3rd and is open to 
the public.
    The meeting will be hosted by the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS 
Coordinator, and led by Ambassador Eric Goosby, who leads 
implementation of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief 
(PEPFAR).
    The Board serves the Global AIDS Coordinator in a solely advisory 
capacity concerning scientific, implementation, and policy issues 
related to the global response to HIV/AIDS. These issues will be of 
concern as they influence the priorities and direction of PEPFAR 
evaluation and research, the content of national and international 
strategies and implementation, and the role of PEPFAR in international 
discourse regarding an appropriate and resourced response. Topics for 
the meeting will include an update on current PEPFAR-funded 
implementation science activities; recommendations to Ambassador Goosby 
on the care and treatment cascade, adherence/retention issues; and 
research priorities for the PEPFAR portfolio.
    The public may attend this meeting as seating capacity allows. 
Admittance to the meeting will be by means of a pre-arranged clearance 
list. In order to be placed on the list and, if applicable, to request 
reasonable accommodation, please register at www.regonline.com/pepfarsab. While the meeting is open to public attendance, the Board 
will determine procedures for public participation. Requests for 
reasonable accommodation that are made after September 25, might not be 
possible to fulfill.
    For further information about the meeting, please contact Dr. Amy 
DuBois, Acting Director of the Office of Research and Science, Office 
of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator at [email protected].

    Dated: August 29, 2013.
