SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nominations are sought for individuals who
have the expertise and qualifications necessary to contribute to the
accomplishment of the objectives of the Advisory Committee on Breast
Cancer in Young Women (ACBCYW). Nominees will be selected based on
expertise in the fields of breast health, breast cancer, disease
prevention and risk reduction, survivorship (including metastatic
breast cancer), hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, or in related
disciplines with a specific focus on young women. Persons with personal
experience with early onset breast cancer are also eligible to apply.
This includes but may not be limited to breast cancer survivors 45
years of age or younger, and caregivers of said persons. Federal
employees will not be considered for membership. Members may be invited
to serve up to four-year terms. Selection of members is based on
candidates' qualifications to contribute to the accomplishment of
ACBCYW objectives (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/breast-cancer/php/advisory-committee/">https://www.cdc.gov/breast-cancer/php/advisory-committee/</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. Committee
members are Special Government Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the beginning of and annually during
their terms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
reviews potential candidates for ACBCYW membership each year and
provides a slate of
[[Page 90700]]
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 December 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] 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).
[ssquf] A short biography (150 words or less).
Nominations may be submitted by the candidate 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.
Kalwant Smagh,
Director, Office of Strategic Business Initiatives, Office of the Chief
Operating Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
