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.
