SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, it is 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
HICPAC 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
July 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. 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
