[[Page 48030]]
individuals who have the expertise and qualifications necessary to
contribute to the accomplishment of the Study Section's objectives.
Nominees will be selected based on expertise in the fields of
occupational medicine and nursing, industrial hygiene, occupational
safety and engineering, toxicology, chemistry, safety and health
education, ergonomics, epidemiology, economic science, psychology,
pulmonary pathology/physiology, and social science. Federal employees
will not be considered for membership. Members may be invited to serve
for up to four-year terms.
Selection of members is based on candidates' qualifications to
contribute to the accomplishment of SOHSS objectives.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) policy
stipulates that committee membership be balanced in terms of points of
view represented, and the Study Section'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. CDC reviews
potential candidates for SOHSS 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 October 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).
Nominations may be submitted by the candidate 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.
