available, to conduct on an as needed basis, scientific reviews of 
applications for AHRQ support. Individual members of the Panel do not

a long period of time. Rather, they are asked to participate in 
particular review meetings which require their type of expertise.

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.

    Dated: April 9, 2014.
