SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the authorities that established the
ACICBL and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, HRSA is requesting
nominations for ten committee members. The ACICBL provides advice and
recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(Secretary) and to the Congress concerning policy, program development
and other matters of significance related to interdisciplinary,
community-based training grant programs authorized under sections 751-
755, Title VII, Part D of the PHS Act. The ACICBL prepares an annual
report describing the activities conducted during the fiscal year,
identifying findings and developing recommendations to enhance these
Title VII programs. The annual report is submitted to the Secretary and
ranking members of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and
Pensions, and the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and
Commerce.
The Department of Health and Human Services is requesting a total
of ten nominations for members of the ACICBL from schools that have
administered or are currently administering awards from the following
programs: Allied Health; Area Health Education Centers; Chiropractic
Demonstration Program; Geriatric Academic Career Award; Geriatric
Education Centers; Quentin N. Burdick Rural Interdisciplinary Training;
Geriatric Training for Physicians, Dentists, and Behavioral and Mental
Health Professionals; Graduate Psychology Education; and Preventive and
Primary Care Training for Podiatric Physicians. Among these
nominations, students, residents, and/or fellows from these programs
are encouraged to apply.
HRSA has a special interest, and the legislation requires a fair
balance between the health professions and members from urban and rural
areas, a broad geographic distribution, 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 for
consideration: (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 Committee and appears to have no conflict of interest that would
preclude the 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; (2) the
nominator's name, address, and daytime telephone number, and the home/
or work address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the individual
being nominated; and (3) 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
three-year term.
Dated: March 31, 2010.
