SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Council on Alzheimer's 
Research, Care, and Services meets quarterly to discuss programs that 
impact people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and their 
caregivers. The Advisory Council makes recommendations about ways to 
reduce the financial impact of Alzheimer's disease and related 
dementias and to improve the health outcomes of people with these 
conditions. The Advisory Council provides feedback on the National Plan 
to Address Alzheimer's Disease. On an annual basis, the Advisory 
Council shall evaluate the implementation of the recommendations 
through an updated national plan.
    The Advisory Council consists of designees from Federal agencies 
including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 
Administration on Aging, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 
Indian Health Service, Office of the Director of the National 
Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of 
Veterans Affairs, Food and Drug Administration, Agency for Healthcare 
Research and Quality, and the Surgeon General. The Advisory Council 
also consists of 12 non-federal members selected by the Secretary who 
are Alzheimer's patient advocates (2), Alzheimer's caregivers (2), 
health care providers (2), representatives of State health departments 
(2), researchers with Alzheimer's-related expertise in basic, 
translational, clinical, or drug development science (2), and voluntary 
health association representatives (2). Members serve for overlapping 4 
year terms, except that any member appointed to fill a vacancy for an 
unexpired term shall be appointed for the remainder of such term. A 
member may serve after the expiration of the member's term until a 
successor has taken office. Members serve as Special Government 
Employees. This announcement is seeking nominations for a 
``representative of a state public health department'' who is not a 
Federal employee.
