SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 42 U.S.C.

Council for Healthcare Research and 

Quality (the Council). Seven current 

members’ terms will expire in 

November 2018. To fill these positions, 

we are seeking individuals who are 

distinguished in: (1) The conduct of 

research, demonstration projects, and

(2) the fields of health care quality 

research or health care improvement; (3) 

the practice of medicine; (4) other 

health professions; (5) representing the 

private health care sector (including 

health plans, providers, and purchasers) 

or administrators of health care delivery 

systems; (6) the fields of health care 

economics, information systems, law, 

ethics, business, or public policy; and, 

(7) representing the interests of patients 

and consumers of health care. 42 U.S.C. 

299c(c)(2). 

Individuals are particularly sought 

with experience and success in 

activities specified in the summary

Secretary shall appoint to the National 

Advisory Council for Healthcare 

Research and Quality twenty one 

appropriately qualified individuals. At 

least seventeen members shall be 

representatives of the public and at least 

one member shall be a specialist in the 

rural aspects of one or more of the 

professions or fields listed in the above 

summary. In addition, the Secretary 

designates, as ex officio members, 

representatives from other Federal 

agencies, principally agencies that 

conduct or support health care research, 

as well as Federal officials the Secretary 

may consider appropriate. 42 U.S.C. 

299c(c)(3). Consistent with revised 

guidance regarding the ban on lobbyists 

serving as members of advisory boards 

and commissions, AHRQ will accept 

nominations for Federally-registered 

lobbyists to serve on the Council in a 

representative capacity. 

The Council meets in the Washington, 

DC, metropolitan area, generally in 

Rockville, Maryland, approximately 

three times a year to provide broad 

guidance to the Secretary and AHRQ’s 

Director on the direction of and 

programs undertaken by AHRQ. 

Seven individuals will be selected by 

the Secretary to serve on the Council 

beginning with the meeting in the 

spring of 2019. Members generally serve 

3-year terms. Appointments are 

staggered to permit an orderly rotation 

of membership. 

Interested persons may nominate one 

or more qualified persons for 

membership on the Council. Selfnominations are accepted. Nominations 

shall include: (1) A copy of the 

nominee’s resume or curriculum vitae; 

and (2) a statement that the nominee is 

willing to serve as a member of the 

Council. Selected candidates will be 

asked to provide detailed information 

concerning their financial interests, 

consultant positions and research grants 

and contracts, to permit evaluation of 

possible sources of conflict of interest. 

Please note that once a candidate is 

nominated, AHRQ may consider that 

nomination for future positions on the 

Council. 

The Department seeks a broad 

geographic representation. In addition, 

AHRQ conducts and supports research 

concerning priority populations, which 

include: Low-income groups; minority 

groups; women; children; the elderly; 

and individuals with special health care 

needs, including individuals with 

disabilities and individuals who need 

chronic care or end-of-life health care. 

See 42 U.S.C. 299(c). Nominations of 

persons with expertise in health care for 

these priority populations are 

encouraged.
