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 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 2023, 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 nominees must be 

U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time 

employees of the U.S. Government. 

Candidates should submit the 

following items: 

D Current curriculum vitae, including 

complete contact information 

(telephone numbers, mailing address, 

email address) 

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, etc.). 

Nominations may be submitted by the 

candidate him- or herself, or by the 

person/organization recommending the 

candidate.
