Sec. 24.2  Allocation.

    (a) The Secretary, within the number authorized in the PHS Act, 
shall determine the number of SBRS slots to be allocated to each 
participating Operating Division.
    (b) The SBRS Policy Board may advise the Secretary to make 
adjustments to the allocation at any time.
    (c) The majority of the SBRS allocation is to be reserved for 
recruitment. The remaining SBRS allocation may be used for the retention 
of current employees.
    (d) SBRS slots will be used judiciously, resulting in SBRS 
appointments only where other senior-level appointing authorities are 
not sufficient to recruit or retain scientific talent.
    (e) The Secretary will ensure that SBRS slots are used in support of 
high priority programs authorized by Congress and which directly support 
the research goals and priorities of the Department.
