DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Clinical Science Research and Development Service Cooperative
Studies Scientific Evaluation Committee; Notice of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs gives notice under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, that the Clinical Science
Research and Development Service Cooperative Studies Scientific
Evaluation Committee will hold a meeting on December 16, 2015, at the
American Association of Airport Executives, 601 Madison Street,
Alexandria, VA. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4:00
p.m.
The Committee advises the Chief Research and Development Officer
through the Director of the Clinical Science Research and Development
Service on the relevance and feasibility of proposed projects and the
scientific validity and propriety of technical details, including
protection of human subjects.
The session will be open to the public for approximately 30 minutes
at the start of the meeting for the discussion of administrative
matters and the general status of the program. The remaining portion of
the meeting will be closed to the public for the Committee's review,
discussion, and evaluation of research and development applications.
During the closed portion of the meeting, discussions and
recommendations will deal with qualifications of personnel conducting
the studies, staff and consultant critiques of research proposals and
similar documents, and the medical records of patients who are study
subjects, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As provided by section 10(d)
of Public Law 92-463, as amended, closing portions of this meeting is
in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (c)(9)(B).
