Interested in serving on an NIH FACA committee?

If you would like to serve on an NIH FACA committee after reviewing this website, please click on the List of NIH Advisory Committees, select the committee on which you are interested in serving, and send your resume/CV to the Committee Management Officer (CMO) or Designated Federal Officer (DFO) listed.  Alternatively, you could send your resume/CV to Patricia Brandt Hansberger, Acting Director, Office of Federal Advisory Committee Policy, at [email protected] and she will forward to the appropriate CMO/DFO.  

Please note that committee terms are staggered and needed expertise and any considerations for geographic balance are dependent on the committee activities at the time as well as any statutory requirements as outlined in the charters which can be found on individual committee websites or on the FACA database here, among other factors.   In addition, the lead time for consideration of membership is about two years.  For memberships opening up in 2029, for example, it would be ideal to send a CV in early 2027.  The List of NIH Advisory Committees contain links to rosters which include dates of when terms of the members are ending.  Information about selection criteria can be found here.
