The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development announced two upcoming meetings that will be closed to the public. These meetings focus on reviewing grant applications related to specific research areas, including maternal and pediatric HIV/AIDS research and endometriosis. The meetings are scheduled for March 12 and March 16-17, 2021, respectively, and will be conducted via video. The closed nature of these meetings is due to the potential disclosure of confidential information, such as trade secrets or personal details, which must be kept private.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) organized a series of meetings to initiate a Voluntary Agreement aimed at ensuring the availability of essential healthcare resources during pandemics. These meetings, which took place in early January 2021, were part of an effort to prioritize the production and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in response to COVID-19. The objectives included setting priorities for PPE and identifying necessary tasks while safeguarding trade secrets and sensitive information by keeping the meetings closed to the public. This initiative falls under the Defense Production Act, which allows for such agreements to strengthen national defense efforts.
