provide interdisciplinary education with a focus on underserved areas;

podiatric medicine (in preventive and primary care) or chiropractic
medicine; and (4) Accredited schools that provide interdisciplinary,
community based training in graduate clinical psychology, clinical

HRSA has a special interest in the legislative requirements of
having a fair balance among the health professionals, a balance between
and members from urban and rural areas, a broad geographic distribution
of members, and the adequate representation of women and minorities.
HRSA encourages nominations of qualified candidates from these groups
as well as individuals with disabilities.
To allow the Secretary to choose from a highly qualified list of
potential candidates, more than one nomination is requested per open
position. Interested persons may nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership. Self-nominations are also accepted. Nominations must be
typewritten. The following information should be included in the
package of materials submitted for each individual being nominated: (1)
A letter of nomination that clearly states the name and affiliation of
the nominee, the basis for the nomination (i.e., specific attributes
that qualify the nominee for service in this capacity), a statement
that the nominee is willing to serve as a member of the ACICBL and
appears to have no conflict of interest that would preclude this
Committee membership. Potential candidates will be asked to provide
detailed information concerning such matters as financial holdings,
consultancies, research grants, and/or contracts to permit an
evaluation of possible sources of conflicts of interest; and (2) the
nominator's name, address, and daytime telephone number; the home/or
work address, and telephone number; and e-mail address of the
individual being nominated. HRSA prefers inclusion of a current copy of
the nominee's curriculum vitae and a statement of interest from the
nominee to support experience working with Title VII interdisciplinary,
community-based training grant programs; expertise in the field; and
personal desire in participating on a National Advisory Committee.
Members will receive a stipend for each official meeting day of the
Committee, as well as per diem and travel expenses as authorized by
section 5 U.S.C. 5703 for persons employed intermittently in Government
service.
Appointments shall be made without discrimination on the basis of
age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and cultural, religious, or
socioeconomic status. Qualified candidates will be invited to serve a
3-year term.
