SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

The ACICBL provides advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary and

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

nominations for voting members of the

administered or are currently

Behavioral and Mental Health 

Professionals; Graduate Psychology; and 

Podiatry. Among these nominations,

The legislation governing this

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. 

Interested individuals may nominate 

multiple qualified professionals for 

membership to the ACICBL to allow the 

Secretary a diverse listing of highly 

qualified potential candidates.

of the ACICBL should not have an 

appearance of a conflict of interest that 

would preclude their participation.

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 

three year term. All nominations must 

be received no later than March 20, 

2009. 

Dated: January 21, 2009.
