p.m. EST. The meeting will be partially 

closed to the public from 1:10–1:30 p.m. 

EST for the discussion, examination, 

and reference to the research 

applications and scientific review. 

Discussions will involve reference to 

staff and consultant critiques of research 

proposals. Discussions will deal with 

scientific merit of each proposal and 

qualifications of personnel conducting 

the studies, the disclosure of which 

would constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. 

Additionally, premature disclosure of 

research information could significantly 

obstruct implementation of proposed 

agency action regarding the research 

proposals. As provided by Public Law 

92–463 subsection 10(d), as amended by 

Public Law 94–409, closing the 

committee meeting is in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B). 

The objective of the Board is to 

provide for the fair and equitable 

selection of the most meritorious 

research projects for support by VA 

research funds and to offer advice for 

research program officials on program 

priorities and policies. The ultimate 

objective of the Board is to ensure that 

the VA Rehabilitation Research and 

Development program promotes 

functional independence and improves 

the quality of life for impaired and 

disabled Veterans. 

Board members 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 of 

Rehabilitation Research and 

Development proposals. The Board does 

not consider grants, contracts, or other 

forms of extramural research. 

Members of the public who wish to
