Health Services 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 the Health
Services Research and Development
Service Scientific Merit Review Board
will conduct an in-person and
teleconference meeting of its Centers of
Innovation (COINs) review on the dates
below from 8:00 a.m. to approximately
4:30 p.m. (unless otherwise listed) at the
Academy Health, 1666 K Street NW,
Washington, DC 20006 (unless
otherwise listed).
• HCN 1—Centers of Innovation
(COINs) on June 14–15, 2018.
The purpose of the Board is to review
health services research and
development applications of the COINs
research program that provides
infrastructure support for the
development of innovations in research,
partnerships with program offices,
collaboration with other researchers
nationally, and mentorship of
researchers as necessary to achieve the
maximum possible impact on Veterans
Health Administration (VHA) policies,
health care practices, and health
outcomes for veterans. A unique feature
of the COINs is that they include one or
more focused areas of research that
collectively address questions of
significance to VHA clinical and
operational partners who will be
engaged in the research activities of the
COINs.
Applications are reviewed for
scientific merit, infrastructural capacity,
management capabilities and VA
mission relevance. Recommendations
regarding funding are submitted to the
Chief Research and Development
Officer. The subcommittee meeting of
the Board will be open to the public at
the start of the meeting on the first day,
June 14 and June 15, 2018 for
approximately one half-hour from 8:00
a.m. to 8:30 a.m. to cover administrative
matters and to discuss the general status
of the program. Members of the public
who wish to attend the open portion of
the subcommittee meeting may dial 1

meeting is in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
