SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nominations are sought for individuals who

Nominees will be selected based on expertise in the fields of pertinent

including, but not limited to, epidemiology, statistics, rehabilitation
medicine, behavioral science, health economics, program evaluation,
political science, law, criminology, and other aspects of injury
management. Federal employees will not be considered for membership.

accomplishment of BSC, NCIPC objectives (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/injury/scientific-counselors/index.html">https://www.cdc.gov/injury/scientific-counselors/index.html</a>).
Department of Health and Human Services (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. Board 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, NCIPC 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 September 2025, 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] Cover letter stating area of expertise
[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 HHS. 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, National Institutes of
Health, Food and Drug Administration, Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration).
Nominations may be submitted by the candidate or by the person/
organization recommending the candidate.
