SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Council on Alzheimer's
Research, Care, and Services meets quarterly to discuss programs that
impact people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and their
caregivers. The Advisory Council makes recommendations to Congress and
the Secretary of Health and Human Services about ways to reduce the
financial impact of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and to
improve the health outcomes of people with these conditions. The
Advisory Council also provides feedback on a National Plan to Address
Alzheimer's disease. On an annual basis, the Advisory Council evaluates
the implementation of the recommendations through an updated National
Plan. The National Alzheimer's Project Act, Public Law 111-375 (42
U.S.C. 11225), requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(HHS) establish the Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research, Care, and
Services. The Advisory Council is governed by provisions of Public Law
92-463 (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth standards for the
formation and use of advisory committees.
The Advisory Council consists of 22 members. Ten members are
designees from Federal agencies including the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Administration for Community Living, Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Indian Health Service, National
Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Food and Drug
Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Health
Resources and Services Administration, and Department of Veterans
Affairs. The Advisory Council also consists of 12 non-federal members
selected by the Secretary who represent 6 categories of people impacted
by dementia: dementia caregivers (2), health care providers (2),
representatives of State or local health departments (2), researchers
with dementia-related expertise in basic, translational, clinical, or
drug development science (2), voluntary health association
representatives (2), and dementia patient advocates (2), including one
advocate who is currently living with dementia.
At this time, the Secretary of HHS is seeking nominations for new
members for each category (caregiver, health care provider, state
representative, researcher, association representative, dementia
patient advocate currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related
dementia), to replace the members whose terms will end on September 30,
2023, for a total of six (6) new members to the Advisory Council. After
receiving nominations, the Secretary, with input from his staff, will
make the final decision, and the new members will be announced soon
after. Members shall be invited to serve until the Advisory Council
sunsets on December 31, 2025 or a 4-year term if the National
Alzheimer's Project Act is reauthorized. Members will serve as Special
Government Employees.
Dated: March 20, 2023.
Miranda Lynch-Smith,
Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation.
