FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adriana Guerra, Public Health Fellow, 
Division of Medicine and Dentistry, by e-mail <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fa9b9d8f9f88889bba9288899bd49d958c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5a3b3d2f3f28283b1a3228293b743d352c">[email protected]</span></a> or 
telephone, (301) 443-6194.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the authorities that established the 
ACICBL, the Federal Advisory Committee Act of October 6, 1972 (Pub. L. 
92-463), and section 2119 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 00aa-19, as added by 
Pub. L. 99-660 and amended, HRSA is requesting nominations for five (5) 
voting members.
    The ACICBL provides advice and recommendations to the 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 751-756, Title VII, 
Part D of the Public Health Service Act. The ACICBL prepares an annual 
report describing the activities conducted during the fiscal year, 
identifying findings and developing recommendations to enhance Title 
VII Interdisciplinary, Community-Based Training Grant Programs. The 
Annual Report is submitted to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services, and ranking members of the Committee on 
Health, Education, Labor and Pensions of the Senate, and the Committee 
on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives.
    The Department of Health and Human Services is requesting a total 
of five (5) nominations for voting members of the ACICBL from schools 
that have administered or are currently administering awards from the 
following programs: Allied Health--one (1) nominee, Geriatric Education 
and Training Programs--one (1) nominee, and Health Education and 
Training Centers (HETCs)--one (1) nominee. Nominations are also 
requested for two (2) students, residents, and/or fellow 
representatives.
    The legislation governing this Committee requires a fair balance of 
health professionals who represent the general population with regard 
to a broad geographic distribution and an evenness of urban and rural 
areas, along with professionals who are women and minorities. As such, 
the pool of appropriately qualified nominations should reflect these 
requirements to the degree possible.
    Interested individuals may nominate multiple qualified 
professionals for membership to the ACICBL to allow the Secretary a 
diverse listing of highly qualified potential candidates. Nominees 
willing to serve as members of the ACICBL should not have an appearance 
of a conflict of interest that would preclude their participation. 
Potential candidates will be asked to provide detailed information 
concerning consultancies, research grants, or contracts to permit an 
evaluation of possible sources of conflicts of interest. In addition, a 
curriculum vitae and a statement of interest will be required of 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. 
Qualified candidates will be invited to serve a two or three-year term. 
All nominations must be received no later than March 12, 2008.
