Subcommittee Date Location 

JBL/CS SMRB .................................................................................... January 25, 2018 ........................................... VA Central Office.* 

* Teleconference. 

The addresses of the meeting sites are: 

20 F Conference Center, 20 F Street 

NW., Washington, DC 

VA Central Office, 1100 First Street NE., 

Suite 600, Washington, DC 

The purpose of the subcommittees is 

to provide advice on the scientific 

quality, budget, safety and mission 

relevance of investigator-initiated 

research proposals submitted for VA 

merit review evaluation. Proposals 

submitted for review include various 

medical specialties within the general 

areas of biomedical, behavioral and 

clinical science research. 

These subcommittee meetings will be 

closed to the public for the review, 

discussion, and evaluation of initial and 

renewal research proposals, which 

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 subsection 

10(d) of Public Law 92–463, as amended 

by Public Law 94–409, closing the 

subcommittee meetings is in accordance 

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

Those who would like to obtain a 

copy of the minutes from the closed 

subcommittee meetings and rosters of 

the subcommittee members should 

contact Holly Krull, Ph.D., Manager, 

Merit Review Program (10P9B), 

Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 

Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC
