without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, national
origin, age, disability, or sex. Nominees must be U.S. citizens and

HHS notifies selected candidates of their appointment near the start of
the term in September, 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.
