(202)260-6075, *helen.lamont@hhs.gov.* 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 to Congress and the Secretary of Health and Human Services 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 also provides feedback on a National Plan to Address Alzheimer's disease. On an annual basis, the Advisory Council evaluates the implementation of the recommendations through an updated National Plan. The National Alzheimer's Project Act, Public Law 111-375 (42 U.S.C. 11225), requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(HHS)establish the Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research, Care, and Services. The Advisory Council is governed by provisions of Public Law 92-463 (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of advisory committees. The Advisory Council consists of 22 members. Ten members are designees from Federal agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Administration for Community Living, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Indian Health Service, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Food and Drug Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Health Resources and Services Administration, and Department of Veterans Affairs. The Advisory Council also consists of 12 non-federal members selected by the Secretary who represent 6 categories of people impacted by dementia: dementia caregivers (2), health care providers (2), representatives of State or local 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 (2), including one advocate who is currently living with dementia. At this time, the Secretary of HHS is seeking nominations for new members for each category (caregiver, health care provider, state representative, researcher, association representative, dementia patient advocate currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia), to replace the members whose terms will end on September 30, 2023, for a total of six
(6)new members to the Advisory Council. After receiving nominations, the Secretary, with input from his staff, will make the final decision, and the new members will be announced soon after. Members shall be invited to serve until the Advisory Council sunsets on December 31, 2025 or a 4-year term if the National Alzheimer's Project Act is reauthorized. Members will serve as Special Government Employees. Dated: March 20, 2023. Miranda Lynch-Smith, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
