The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Federal Advisory Committees
Federal advisory committees are
a key component of CDC’s overall strategy to achieve stakeholder and
public engagement in its efforts and commitment to improve people’s
health. The Federal Advisory Committee Act (P.L. 92-463) provides a
mechanism for experts and stakeholders to participate in the
decision-making process, offering advice and recommendations to the
Federal government as members of advisory |

committees. The important contribution made by Federal advisory committees
is overseen at the highest levels of government: the Congress, the President of the United States
and the General Services Administrator (through authority delegated by the President). At the CDC,
advisory committee activity is overseen by the Management Analysis and Services Office. |
Currently, twenty-four federal
advisory committees provide advice and recommendations on a broad
range of public health issues to help the agency achieve its mission
to
promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling
disease, injury, and disability. Among the program areas our
committees deliberate on are occupational and environmental health,
healthcare infection control and clinical laboratory standards,
smoking, breast and cervical cancer, HIV, STDs and Tuberculosis,
childhood and adult immunizations, and injury prevention and
control.
At this website, you can access information
about each committee and its membership; laws, regulations and other
applicable guidance relating to the establishment and management of
advisory committees; and information concerning ethics and financial
