SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nominations are sought for individuals who
have the expertise and qualifications necessary to contribute to the
accomplishment of the objectives of the BSC, NIOSH. Nominees will be
selected based on expertise in pertinent disciplines involved in
occupational safety and health, such as occupational medicine,
occupational nursing, industrial hygiene, occupational safety,
engineering, toxicology, chemistry, safety and health education,
ergonomics, epidemiology, biostatistics, psychology, wellness, research
translation, and evaluation. 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 BSC, NIOSH objectives (<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/BSC/default.html">http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/BSC/default.html</a>.)
HHS 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, requiring the
filing of financial disclosure reports at the beginning of 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
2024, 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] Cover letter, including a description of the candidate's
qualifications and why the candidate would be a good fit for the BSC,
NIOSH
[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.
