The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention invites interested parties to submit nominations for individuals to serve on the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health (ABRWH) for the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. The ABRWH was established pursuant to Section 3624 of Public Law 106–398 and Section 4 of Executive Order 13179, ''Providing Compensation to America's Nuclear Weapons Workers,'' dated 7 December 2000.

In the past, the Health Physics Society (HPS) submitted nominations for this board. Given the call for nominations, HPS would like to do that again.

There is a need for those with internal dosimetry knowledge as well as an understanding of operational health physics. The deadline for nominations is 2 August 2021, so time is short. If you would like to be nominated by HPS or would self-nominate and like support from HPS, please contact Society Operations Editor Craig Little and attach your CV. The Federal Register announcement has more details.
