The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is soliciting nominations for 6 new non-federal members of the Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research, Care, and Services.
The Advisory Council includes 12 non-federal members who fall into six categories: dementia caregivers (2); health care providers (2); representatives of state health departments (2); researchers with dementia-related expertise in basic, translational, clinical, or drug development science (2); voluntary health association representatives (2); and dementia patient advocates, including an advocate who is currently living with the disease (2). The Secretary of HHS is seeking nominations for one new member for each category, for a total of six, to replace the members whose terms will end on September 31, 2023.
The Advisory Council meets quarterly to discuss programs that impact people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) and their caregivers. The Advisory Council offers recommendations to Congress and the Secretary of HHS on reducing the financial impact of AD/ADRD and improving the health outcomes of people with these conditions. The Advisory Council also provides feedback on the National Plan for Alzheimer's Disease.
