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 Cooperative
Studies Scientific Evaluation Committee (Committee) will hold its
virtual meeting on May 29, 2026, via Microsoft Teams, from 1:00 p.m.-
3:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
The Committee provides expert advice on VA cooperative studies,
multi-site clinical research activities, and policies related to
conducting and managing these efforts. The first 30 minutes of the
meeting (approximately) will open to the public as the Committee
discusses administrative matters and the general status of the program.
The remaining portion of the meeting will be closed to the public as
the Committee reviews, discusses, and evaluates research and
development applications.
During the closed portion of the meeting, the Committee's
discussions and recommendations will address the
[[Page 29523]]
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. Therefore, potions of the Committee meeting will be closed
to the public in accordance with Title 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4)(6) and
(9)(B).
The Committee will not 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 319 653
829#. Those who plan to attend, would like additional information, or
would like to submit written comments should contact David Burnaska,
Program Manager, Cooperative Studies Program (14RD), Department of
Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, at
