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 to the
Director (ACD). Nominees will be selected based on expertise in the
fields of public health, infectious disease, data science and
Artificial Intelligence (AI), lab science, global health, and public
health preparedness. 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 ACD objectives.
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, sex,
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 and annually
during their terms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(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.
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.
