and HRSA to fulfill their missions of
providing prevention and treatment
services; programmatic efforts to
prevent and treat HIV and STDs; and
support to the agencies in their
development of responses to emerging
health needs related to HIV and other
STDs.
Nominations are being sought for
individuals who have expertise and
qualifications necessary to contribute to
the accomplishments of the committee’s
objectives. Nominees will be selected
based on expertise in the fields of HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and STD
prevention, control and treatment.
Experts in the disciplines of public
health; epidemiology; laboratory
practice; immunology; infectious
diseases; drug abuse; behavioral science;
health education; healthcare delivery;
state health programs; clinical care;
preventive health; medical education;
health services and clinical research;
and healthcare financing. Federal
employees will not be considered for
membership. Members may be invited
to serve for up to four-year terms.
Selection of members is based on
candidates’ qualifications to contribute
to the accomplishment of CHACHSPT
objectives. 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 (SGEs),
requiring the filing of financial
disclosure reports at the beginning and
annually during their terms. CDC
reviews potential candidates for
CHACHSPT 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 December 1,
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
