Rehabilitation Research and 

Development Service Scientific Merit 

Review Board; Notice of Meeting 

The Department of Veterans Affairs 

gives notice under Public Law 92–463 

(Federal Advisory Committee Act) that 

the Rehabilitation Research and 

Development Service Scientific Merit 

Review Board will meet on March 1–2, 

2010, and March 3–4, 2010, at the 

Marriott Washington Wardman Park 

Hotel, 2660 Woodley Road, NW., 

Washington, DC, from 8 a.m. until 5:30 

p.m. each day. 

The purpose of the Board is to review 

rehabilitation research and development 

applications for scientific and technical 

merit and to make recommendations to 

the Director, Rehabilitation Research 

and Development Service, regarding 

their funding. 

The sessions on March 1 and 4 will 

be open to the public from 8 a.m. to 9 

a.m. for the discussion of administrative 

matters, the general status of the 

program and the administrative details 

of the review process. The sessions will 

be closed as follows for the Board’s 

review of research and development 

applications: 

March 1—from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

March 2—from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

March 4—from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

March 5—from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

The reviews involves oral comments, 

discussion of site visits, staff and 

consultant critiques of proposed 

research protocols, and similar 

analytical documents that focus on the 

consideration of the personal 

qualifications, performance and 

competence of individual research 

investigators. Disclosure of such 

information would constitute a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy. Disclosure would also reveal 

research proposals and research 

underway which could lead to the loss 

of these projects to third parties and 

thereby frustrate future agency research 

efforts. As provided by subsection 10(d) 

of Public Law 92–463, as amended, 

closing positions of the meeting is in 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), 

and (c)(9)(B). 

Those who plan to attend the open 

sessions should contact Tiffany Asqueri, 

Federal Designated Officer, 

Rehabilitation Research and 

Development Service (122P), 

Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 

Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 

20420, or at (202) 461–1740. 

Dated: January 14, 2010. 

By direction of the Secretary. 

Vivian Drake, 

Acting Committee Management Officer.
