DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Cooperative Studies Scientific Evaluation Committee; Notice of
Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10, that the Cooperative
Studies Scientific Evaluation Committee (CSSEC) will hold a meeting on
January 18, 2024, via Zoom from 1-4 p.m. EST.
The Committee provides expert advice on VA cooperative studies,
multi-site clinical research activities and policies related to
conducting and managing these efforts. The session will be open to the
public for the first 30 minutes of the meeting (approximately) for the
discussion of administrative matters and the general status of the
program. The remaining portion of the meeting will be closed to the
public for the Committee's review, discussion and evaluation of
research and development applications.
[[Page 89055]]
During the closed portion of the meeting, the Committee's
discussions and recommendations will address the qualifications of the
personnel conducting the studies; staff and consultant critiques of
research proposals and similar documents; and the medical records of
study subjects, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Additionally, premature
disclosure of research information to the public could significantly
obstruct implementation of approved research activities. As provided by
Public Law 92-463 subsection 10(d), and amended by Public Law 94-409,
closing the Committee meeting is in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6)
and (9)(B).
The Committee will accept oral comments from the public for the
open portion of the meeting. Members of the public who wish to attend
the open teleconference should call 872-701-0185, conference ID 456 277
285#. Those who plan to attend or would like additional information
should contact David Burnaska, Program Manager, Cooperative Studies
Program (14RD), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20420, at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6c280d1a0508422e191e020d1f070d2c1a0d420b031a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3074514659541e7245425e51435b517046511e575f46">[email protected]</span></a>. Those wishing to submit
written comments may send them to Mr. Burnaska at the same address and

Federal Advisory Committee Management Officer.
