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 on Wednesday, October 14, 2015 at 1800 G 
St. NW., Suite 10300, Washington DC 20006. The meeting will last from 
8:30 a.m. until approximately 5:30 p.m. 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 Deborah Birx, who leads 
implementation of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief 
(PEPFAR), and the Board Chair, Dr. Carlos del Rio.
    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 recommendations to the Board from Expert 
Working Groups focused on ``Test and START'' and pre-exposure 
prophylaxis (PrEP) initiatives for PEPFAR; updates on PEPFAR 3.0 
programmatic activities in a number of areas including epidemic 
control, sustainability, financing, affected populations and civil 
society engagement.
    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
