SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

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 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

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

between the health professions, a broad 

geographic distribution and a balance of 

members from urban and rural areas, 

and the adequate representation of 

women and minorities. As such, the 

pool of appropriately qualified 

nominees should reflect these 

requirements to the degree possible.

multiple qualified professionals for 

membership to the ACICBL to allow the

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

working with Title VII Interdisciplinary, 

Community-Based Training Grant 

Programs, expertise in the field, and

three year term. All nominations must
