SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for HICPAC membership each year, and
provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in July 2018, or as
soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year.
Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and
cannot be full-time employees of the
U.S. Government. Candidates should
submit the following items:
