DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality
Solicitation for Nominations for
Members of the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force (USPSTF)
AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ), HHS.
ACTION: Solicits nominations for new
members of USPSTF.
SUMMARY: The Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) invites
nominations of individuals qualified to
serve as members of the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force (USPSTF).
The USPSTF, a standing, panel of
outside experts that makes evidencebased recommendations to the health
care community and the public
regarding the provision of clinical
preventive services, is composed of
members appointed to serve for four
year terms with an option for
reappointment. New members are
selected each year to replace
approximately one fourth of the
USPSTF members, i.e., those who are
completing their appointments.
Individuals nominated but not
appointed in previous years, as well as
those newly nominated, are considered
in the annual selection process.
USPSTF members meet three times a
year for two days in the Washington, DC

area. Between meetings, member duties
include reviewing and preparing
comments (off site) on systematic
evidence reviews prior to discussing
and making recommendations on
preventive services, drafting final
recommendation documents, and
participating in workgroups on specific
topics or methods.
To obtain a diversity of perspectives,
and enhance opportunities, AHRQ
particularly encourages nominations of
women, members of minority
populations, and persons with
disabilities. Interested individuals can
self nominate. Organizations and
individuals may nominate one or more
persons qualified for membership on the
USPSTF.
Qualification Requirements: The
mission of the USPSTF is to produce
evidence-based recommendations on
the appropriate screening, counseling,
and provision of preventive medication
for asymptomatic patients seen in the
primary care setting. Therefore, in order
to qualify for the USPSTF, an applicant
or nominee must demonstrate the
following:
1. Knowledge and experience in the
critical evaluation of research published
in peer reviewed literature and in the
methods of evidence review;
2. Understanding and experience in
the application of synthesized evidence
to clinical decision-making and/or
policy;
3. Expertise in disease prevention and
health promotion;
4. Ability to work collaboratively with
peers; and,
5. Clinical expertise in the primary
health care of children and/or adults,
and/or expertise in counseling and
behavioral interventions for primary
care patients.
Some USPSTF members without
primary health care clinical experience
may be selected based on their expertise
in methodological issues such as
medical decision-making, clinical
epidemiology, behavioral medicine, and
health economics.
Consideration will be given to
individuals who are recognized
nationally for scientific leadership
within their field of expertise.
Applicants must have no substantial
conflicts of interest, whether financial,
professional, or other conflicts, that
would impair the scientific integrity of
the work of the USPSTF.
DATES: All nominations submitted in
writing or electronically, and received
by Friday, May 15, 2009, will be
considered for appointment to the
USPSTF.
Nominated individuals will be
selected for the USPSTF on the basis of
