Solicitation of Nominations for Appointment to the Board of 
Scientific Counselors (BSC), Office of Infectious Diseases (OID)

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is 
seeking nominations for membership on the BSC, OID. The BSC, OID, 
consists of 17 experts in fields associated with the issues addressed 
by CDC's infectious disease national centers (e.g., respiratory 
diseases, antimicrobial resistance, foodborne diseases, zoonotic and 
vectorborne diseases, sexually transmitted diseases) and specialties, 
including clinical and public health practice (including state and 
local health departments), research and diagnostics, bioinformatics, 
health policy/communications, and industry.
    Nominations are being sought for individuals who have expertise and 
qualifications necessary to contribute to the accomplishments of the 
committee's objectives. Nominees will be selected based on expertise in 
the fields of infectious diseases and related specialties. Federal 
employees will not be considered for membership. Members may be invited 
to serve for up to four-year terms.
    Selection of members is based on candidates' qualifications to 
contribute to the accomplishment of BSC, OID, objectives (www.cdc.gov/oid/BSC.html).

DATES: Nominations for membership on the BSC, OID, must be received no 
later than October 31, 2018. Packages received after this time will not 
be considered for the current membership cycle.

ADDRESSES: All nominations should be mailed to BSC, OID, MS H-24-12, 
1600 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA 30329, or emailed (recommended) to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Wiley, M.P.H., Senior Advisor, 
Office of Infectious Diseases, CDC, MS H-24-12, 1600 Clifton Road, 
Atlanta, GA 30329, 404-639-2100, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. 
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 (SGEs), 
requiring the filing of financial disclosure reports at the beginning 
and annually during their terms. CDC reviews potential candidates for 
BSC, OID 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 2019, 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. SGE Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and cannot be 
full-time employees of the U.S. Government. 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 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 
(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, NIH, FDA, etc.).
    Nominations may be submitted by the candidate him- or herself, or 
by the person/organization recommending the candidate.
    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 CDC and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

Sherri Berger,
Chief Operating Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
