Information about nominated
potential reviewers will be maintained
in the NCIPC Extramural Research
Program Office (ERPO) Scientific
Reviewer and Advisor Database. The
work of reviewers’ appointed to NCIPC,
NCEH and ATSDR SEPs includes the
initial review, discussion, and written
critique and evaluation of applications.
This work will enable the CDC/NCIPC,
NCEH and ATSDR to fulfill its mission
of funding meritorious research that
provides vital knowledge about
underlying risk and protective factors
and strategies for: Violence and injury
prevention (www.cdc.gov/injury), health
effects from exposures to environmental
agents and hazardous substances
(www.atsdr.cdc.gov), and the
environmental public health impact
caused by intentional or unintentional
events (www.cdc.gov/nceh).
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. CDC reviewers
appointed to a SEP are not considered
Special Government Employees and
will not be required to file financial
disclosure reports.
Nominees interested in serving as a
potential reviewer on a SEP, CDC for
NCIPC, NCEH, or ATSDR programs
should submit the following items:
• Current curriculum vitae,
highlighting specific areas of research
interest and expertise as well as
