(hereinafter the Board) will be held on

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 also 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 Public Law
92–463 subsection 10(d), as amended by
Public Law 94–409, closing the Board
meeting is in accordance with 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.
Members of the public may attend the
open portion of the meeting in listenonly mode as the time limited open
agenda does not enable public comment
presentations. To attend the open
portion of the meeting (1–1:10 p.m.
EST), the public may join by dialing the
phone number 1–833–558–0712 and
entering the meeting number (access
code): 2760 821 8338.
Written public comments must be
sent to Kristy Benton-Grover,
Designated Federal Officer,
Rehabilitation Research and
Development Service, Department of
Veterans Affairs (14RDR), 810 Vermont
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, or
to Kristy.Benton-Grover@va.gov at least
five days before the meeting via the
email listed above. The written public
comments will be shared with the Board
members. The public may not attend the
closed portion of the meeting as
disclosure of research information could
significantly obstruct implementation of
