Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 211 / Thursday, November 1, 2007 / Notices
during the fiscal year, identifying
findings and developing
recommendations to enhance Title VII
Interdisciplinary, Community-Based
Training Grant Programs. The Annual
Report is submitted to the Secretary of
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, and ranking members
of the Committee on Health, Education,
Labor and Pensions of the Senate, and
the Committee on Energy and
Commerce of the House of
Representatives.
The Department of Health and Human
Services is requesting a total of seven (7)
nominations for voting members of the
ACICBL from schools that have
administered or are currently
administering awards from the
following programs: Area Health
Education Centers (AHECs)—1
nominee, Allied Health—1 nominee,
Geriatric Education and Training
Programs—1 nominee, Health Education
and Training Centers (HETCs)—1
nominee, and Quentin N. Burdick
Program for Rural Interdisciplinary
Training—1 nominee. Nominations are
also requested for two student, resident,
and/or fellow representatives.
Interested individuals may nominate
multiple qualified professionals for
membership to the ACICBL to allow the
Secretary to choose from a highly
qualified list of potential candidates.
Nominees willing to serve as members
of the ACICBL should have no
appearance of a conflict of interest that
would preclude their participation.
Potential candidates will be asked to
provide detailed information concerning
consultancies, research grants, or
contracts to permit an evaluation of
possible sources of conflicts of interest.
In addition, a curriculum vitae and a
statement of interest will be required of
the nominee to support experience
working with Title VII Interdisciplinary,
Community-Based Training Grant
Programs, expertise in the field, and
personal desire in participating on a
National Advisory Committee. Qualified
candidates will be invited to serve a
one-, two-, or three-year term. All
nominations must be received no later
than December 31, 2007.
The legislation governing this
Committee requires a fair balance of
health professionals who represent the
general population with regard to a
broad geographic distribution and an
evenness of urban and rural areas, along
with professionals who are women and
minorities. As such, the pool of
appropriately qualified nominations
should reflect these requirements to the
degree possible.

fellowships that focus on development
of primary care research investigators.
Duration—Fellowships will last 2 to 3

health science center. Advanced degrees
(e.g., M.P.H., M.P.A.) are a desirable
option. Desirable candidates include
multidisciplinary physician faculty and
fellows. Research areas should be
consistent with the scope and content of
primary care practice and education,
and may include such areas as the
linkage between Healthy People 2010
and health disparities, community and
