Selection of members is based on
candidates’ qualifications to contribute
to the accomplishment of BSC, NIOSH
objectives (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
BSC/default.html.)
HHS 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 of and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for BSC, NIOSH 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 January 2024, 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. Candidates should
submit the following items:
D Current curriculum vitae, including
complete contact information
(telephone numbers, mailing address,
email address)
D Cover letter, including a description
of the candidate’s qualifications and
why the candidate would be a good fit
for the BSC, NIOSH
D At least one letter of
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 by a person not
employed by an HHS agency (e.g., CDC,
NIH, FDA).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate or by the person/organization
recommending the candidate.
