The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced that the Rehabilitation Research and Development Service Scientific Merit Review Board will meet on March 5, 2025, through Webex. The meeting will start with a public session from 1 to 1:10 p.m., after which it will be closed to the public to discuss research applications and scientific reviews in a secure environment. This Board is responsible for selecting the most promising research projects that support Veterans' quality of life and providing advice on research priorities. Members of the public can listen to the open session by calling in and can submit written comments to be shared with the Board.
Simple Explanation
The VA has a special group that will meet online to talk about which research projects could help veterans; the first part of the meeting is open for anyone to listen, but most of it is private so they can discuss important details.
