guidance to the Secretary, HHS; the
Assistant Secretary for Health; and the
Director, CDC, regarding the formative
research, development, implementation
and evaluation of evidence-based
activities designed to prevent breast
cancer (particularly among those at

detection and support of young women
who develop the disease. The advice
provided by the Committee will assist in
ensuring scientific quality, timeliness,
utility, and dissemination of credible
appropriate messages and resource
materials.
Nominations are being sought for
individuals who have expertise and
qualifications necessary to contribute to
the accomplishments of the committee’s
objectives. The Secretary, HHS, acting
through the Director, CDC, shall appoint

prevention, early detection, diagnosis,
public health, social marketing, genetic
screening and counseling, treatment,
rehabilitation, palliative care, and
survivorship in young women, or in
related disciplines with a specific focus
on young women. Members may be
invited to serve for up to four years. The
next cycle of selection of candidates
will begin in the Fall of 2016, for
selection of potential nominees to
replace members whose terms will end
on November 30, 2017.
