*Teleconference. 

The purpose of the Merit Review 

Board is to provide advice on the 

scientific quality, budget, safety and 

mission relevance of investigatorinitiated research proposals submitted 

for VA merit review consideration. 

Proposals submitted for review by the 

Board involve a wide range of medical 

specialities within the general areas of 

biomedical, behavioral and clinical 

science research. 

The subcommittee meetings will be 

open to the public for approximately 

one hour at the start of each meeting to 

discuss the general status of the 

program. The remaining portion of each 

subcommittee meeting will be closed to 

the public for the review, discussion, 

and evaluation of initial and renewal 

projects. 

The closed portion of each meeting 

involves discussion, examination, 

reference to staff and consultant 

critiques of research protocols. During 

this portion of each subcommittee 

meeting, discussion and 

recommendations will deal with 

qualifications of 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 could significantly 

frustrate implementation of proposed 

agency action regarding such research 

projects. 

As provided by subsection 10(d) of 

Public Law 92–463, as amended, closing 

portions of these subcommittee 

meetings is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(6) and (9)(B). Those who plan to 

attend or would like to obtain a copy of 

minutes of the subcommittee meetings 

and rosters of the members of the 

subcommittees should contact LeRoy G. 

Frey, PhD, Chief, Program Review 

(121F), Department of Veterans Affairs, 

810 Vermont Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20420. Dr. Frey can be
