The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy stipulates
that committee membership be balanced in terms of points of view
represented, and the committee's function. Appointments shall be made
without discrimination on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender,
sexual orientation, gender identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status. Nominees must be U.S.
citizens, and cannot be full-time employees of the U.S. Government.
Current participation on federal workgroups or prior experience serving
on a federal advisory committee does not disqualify a candidate;
however, HHS policy is to avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government Employees (SGEs), requiring the filing
of financial disclosure reports at the beginning and annually during
their terms. CDC reviews potential candidates for BSC, NIOSH membership
each year and provides a slate of nominees for consideration to the
Secretary of HHS for final selection. HHS notifies selected candidates
of their appointment near the start of the term in January 2023, or as
soon as the HHS selection process is completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to year and a candidate who is not
selected in one year may be reconsidered in a subsequent year. SGE
nominees must be U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government.
Candidates should submit the following items:
[ssquf] Current curriculum vitae, including complete contact
information (telephone numbers, mailing address, email address)
[ssquf] At least one letter of recommendation from person(s) not
employed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
(Candidates may submit letter(s) from current HHS employees if they
wish, but at least one letter must be submitted by a person not
employed by an HHS agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the candidate him- or herself, or
by the person/organization recommending the candidate.
The Director, Strategic Business Initiatives Unit, Office of the
Chief Operating Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
has been delegated the authority to sign Federal Register notices
pertaining to announcements of meetings and other committee management
activities, for both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
