Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


Request for Nominations of Candidates To Serve on the Advisory 
Committee to the Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(ACD, CDC)

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is soliciting 
nominations for possible membership on the ACD, CDC. ACD, CDC consists 
of 15 experts in fields related to health policy, public health, global 
health, preparedness, preventive medicine, the faith-based and 
community-based sector, and allied fields, who are selected by the 
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). 
The committee advises the HHS Secretary and the CDC Director concerning 
policy and broad strategies that will enable CDC to fulfill its mission 
of protecting health through health promotion, prevention, and 
preparedness. The committee recommends ways to prioritize CDC's 
activities, improve results, and address health disparities. It also 
provides guidance to help CDC work more effectively with its various 
private and public sector constituents to make health protection a 
practical reality.
    Nominations are being sought for individuals who have the expertise 
and qualifications necessary to contribute to accomplishment of the 
committee's objectives. Nominees will be selected by the HHS Secretary 
or designee from authorities knowledgeable in the fields of public 
health as well as from the general public. Federal employees will not 
be considered for membership. Members may be invited to serve for terms 
of up to four years.
    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy stipulates 
that committee membership be balanced in terms of points of view 
represented and the committee's function. Consideration will be given 
to a broad representation of geographic areas. 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 and annually during their 
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates for ACD, CDC 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 July 2017 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.
    Nominees must be U.S. citizens and cannot be full-time employees of 
the U.S. Government. Candidates should submit the following items:
     Current curriculum vitae, including complete contact 
information (name,

[[Page 49659]]

affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and email address);
     A letter of recommendation stating the qualifications of 
the candidate.
    Nomination materials must be postmarked by August 12, 2016 and sent 
to [email protected], or to Tracie Strength, Office of the Chief of 
Staff, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE., Mailstop D14, Atlanta, Georgia, 30329. Please direct questions to 
Tracie at (404) 498-6482.
    The Director, Management Analysis and Services Office, 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.
