    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is soliciting

the early detection and control of breast and cervical cancer. The

objectives; implementation strategies; program priorities, including 
surveillance, epidemiologic investigations, education and training, 
information dissemination, professional interactions and 
collaborations, and policy.
    Nominations are being sought for individuals who have expertise and

disability, and cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status. 
Consideration is given to a broad representation of geographic areas
