Rehabilitation Research and
Development Service Scientific Merit
Review Board, Notice of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) gives notice under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, that a meeting
of the Rehabilitation Research and
Development Service Scientific Merit
Review Board will he held Wednesday,
March 4, 2020, by teleconference. The
meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. and end
at 1:30 p.m. EST. The meeting will be
partially closed to the public from 1:10
p.m. to 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

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
committee meeting is in accordance
with Title 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.
