SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Special Emphasis Panel is a group of

the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and agree to be 
available, to conduct on an as needed basis, scientific reviews of 
applications for AHRQ support. Individual members of the Panel do not 
attend regularly-scheduled meetings and do not serve for fixed terms or 
a long period of time. Rather, they are asked to participate in 
particular review meetings which require their type of expertise.
    Each SEP meeting will commence in open session before closing to

set forth in 5 U.S.C. App. 2, section 10(d), 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), and 5

Addressing Methodological Challenges in Research for Patients With 
Multiple Chronic Conditions (R21)'' are to be reviewed and discussed at 
this meeting. The grant 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: November 5, 2013.
Richard Kronick,
AHRQ Director.
