have up to a maximum of 15 members,
with a variety of backgrounds
(recognizing that it will not be practical
to have all backgrounds represented),
with respect to:
1. Particularly relevant areas of
marine and biomedical sciences, such
as:
a. Conservation medicine, diseases of
humans, diseases of marine organisms;
b. Epidemiology and human health
sciences;
c. Harmful algal bloom impacts on
public health;
d. Source tracking and environmental
microbiology;
e. Marine pharmaceuticals and other
natural products;
f. Marine organisms and habitats as
models for biomedical research and/or
indicators of environmental condition;
g. Pollutants, contaminants, and
ecological chemistry;
h. Seafood safety;
i. Remote sensing, observing systems;
and predictive models;
j. Ecosystem science and services;
k. Climate change and variability;
l. Genomics and proteomics;
m. Biomaterials, bioengineering, and
other techniques for producing marine
products, including chemical,
aquaculture, and recombinant DNA;
n. Outreach and education; and
o. Social sciences relevant to human
health.
2. Experience in academia, within
mission-oriented government agencies,
non governmental organizations, and
the private sector;
3. Familiarity with NOAA’s mandates;
and
4. Being a science provider to key
generic groups of stakeholders, science
interpreter to groups of stakeholders, or
stakeholder with a history of interaction
with science providers.
The qualifications of individuals are
expected to be outstanding with respect
to one or more, but not necessarily all,
of the criteria. Because of the limited
size of the advisory panel, management
organization expertise must include
expertise directly related to ecosystem
condition or human health or the very
special features of science applied to
government decision-making. The
advisory panel members should have
the following qualifications:
1. National and international
recognition within their profession;
2. Knowledge of the scientific,
technical, and biomedical information
needed to support NOAA’s Oceans and
Human Health Initiative, coupled with
broad familiarity with NOAA’s mission;
3. Knowledge of, and experience with,
the organization and management of

complex, mission-oriented scientific
and/or public health programs; and
4. Ability to represent views of
academia, government agencies,
nongovernmental organizations, or the
private business sector.
This solicitation is to obtain candidate
applications for 3 current vacancies on
the Panel. Appointments to the advisory
panel will be for two or three-year
terms, renewable once and the panel is
expected to meet twice yearly.
