SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nominations are sought for individuals who
have the expertise and qualifications necessary to contribute to the
accomplishment of the objectives of the Safety and Occupational Health
Study Section (SOHSS). Nominees will be selected based on expertise in
the fields of occupational medicine and nursing, industrial hygiene,
occupational safety and engineering, toxicology, chemistry, safety and
health education, ergonomics, epidemiology, economic science,
psychology, pulmonary pathology/physiology, and social science. 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 SOHSS objectives (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/faca/committees/sohss.html">https://www.cdc.gov/faca/committees/sohss.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. 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 SOHSS 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 October 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).
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.
