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

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 2020, 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. SGE Nominees must be
U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time
employees of the U.S. Government.
Candidates should submit the following
items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,

recommendation from person(s) not
employed by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
(Candidates may submit letter(s) from
current HHS employees if they wish,
but at least one letter must be submitted

agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc).

candidate him- or herself, or by the

candidate.

for Disease Control and Prevention, has
been delegated the authority to sign

announcements of meetings and other
committee management activities for
both CDC and the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry.
