(*Teleconference). VA Central Office, 1100 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20002.
VHA National Conference Center, 2011 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA
22202.
The purpose of the Board is to review rehabilitation research and
development applications and advise the Director, Rehabilitation
Research and Development Service, and the Chief Research and
Development Officer on the scientific and technical merit, the mission
relevance, and the protection of human and animal subjects.
The subcommittee meetings will be open to the public for
approximately one-half hour at the start of each meeting to cover
administrative matters and to discuss the general status of the
program. Members of the public who wish to attend the open portion of
the teleconference sessions may dial 1 (800) 767-1750, participant code
35847. The remaining portion of each subcommittee meeting will be
closed to the public for the discussion, examination, reference to, and
oral review of the research applications and critiques. During the
closed portion of each subcommittee meeting, discussion and
recommendations will include qualifications of the personnel conducting
the studies (the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy), as well as research
information (the premature disclosure of which would likely compromise
significantly the implementation of proposed agency action regarding
such research projects). As provided by subsection 10(d) of Public Law
92-463, as amended by Public Law 94-409, closing the meeting is in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
No oral or written comments will be accepted from the public for
either portion of the meetings. Those who plan to attend (by phone or
in person) the open portion of a subcommittee meeting must contact
Tiffany Asqueri, Designated Federal Officer, Rehabilitation Research
and Development Service, at Department of Veterans Affairs (10P9R), 810
Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420, or email
[email protected] at least 5 days before the meeting. For further
information, please call Mrs. Asqueri at (202) 443-5757.
Dated: June 22, 2017.

Federal Advisory Committee Management Officer.
