DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Rehabilitation Research and Development Service Scientific Merit
Review Board; Notice of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under Public
Law 92-463 (Federal Advisory Committee Act) that a meeting of the
Rehabilitation Research and Development Service Scientific Merit Review
Board will be held on December 13-14, 2010, at the Hilton Alexandria
Old Town, 1767 King Street, Alexandria, VA, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each
day. Various subcommittees of the Board will meet to evaluate Center of
Excellence and Research Enhancement Award Program applications. Each
subcommittee meeting of the Board will be open to the public the first
day for approximately one hour from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. to cover
administrative matters and to discuss the general status of the
program. The remaining portion of the meetings will be closed. The
closed portion of each meeting will involve discussion, examination,
reference to, and oral review of the applications and critiques.
The purpose of the Board is to review rehabilitation research and
development applications and 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.
During the meetings, discussion and recommendations will include
qualifications of the 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 would likely compromise significantly the implementation of
proposed agency action regarding such research projects). As provided
by subsection 10(d) of Public Law 92-463, as amended by Public Law 94-
409, closing the meeting is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and
(9)(B).
For further information, please contact Tiffany Asqueri, Designated
Federal Officer, Rehabilitation Research and Development Service,
Department of Veterans Affairs (122P), 810 Vermont Avenue, NW.,

Dated: November 22, 2010.
By Direction of the Secretary.
Vivian Drake,
Acting Committee Management Officer.
