SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nominations are being sought for individuals
who have the expertise and qualifications necessary to contribute to
the accomplishments of the committee's objectives. Nominees will be
selected based on expertise in the fields of public health, global
health, frontline experience and lived experiences relevant to ACD
areas, communication science, health systems and prevention research,
and public health core capabilities such as data, lab, and workforce.
Federal employees will not be considered for membership. Members may be
invited to serve for four-year terms. Selection of members is based on
candidates' qualifications to contribute to the accomplishment of ACD
objectives. To ensure a diverse committee composition, nominees with
front line and field experience at the local, state, tribal and
territorial levels are encouraged to apply. This includes nominees with
experience working for, and with, community-based organizations and
other non-profit organizations. Selection of members is based on
candidates' qualifications to contribute to the accomplishment of the
ACD's objectives (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/faca/committees/acd.html">https://www.cdc.gov/faca/committees/acd.html</a>).
Members will be required to attend ACD meetings at least two times per
year (virtually or in-person), and contribute time in between meetings
for research, consultation, discussion, and writing assignments.
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 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 ACD 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, 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:
<bullet> A one-half to one-page cover letter that includes your
understanding of, and commitment to, the time and work necessary; one
to two sentences on your background and experience; and one to two
sentences on the skills/perspective you would bring to the ACD.
<bullet> 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.).
<bullet> Current curriculum vitae which highlights the experience
and work history being sought relevant to the criteria set forth above,
including complete contact information (telephone numbers, mailing
address, email address).
Nominations may be submitted by the candidate him- or herself, or
by the person/organization recommending the candidate.
The Director, Office of Strategic Business Initiatives, 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.
