Message from Jennifer Grodsky, vice president of federal relations:

The EPA Science Advisory Board, EPA Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, Advisory Committee on Minority Health, and Health Information Technology Policy Committee are looking for nominations, with very quick deadlines this month. Details are below and attached.

If you have faculty who would like to be nominated, BU Federal Relations is happy to help you with sample letters of nomination or other information. Serving on these boards is a good way to influence the direction of science policy and funding opportunities, as well as gain useful contacts and information that can help faculty better position themselves within the agency.

Jennifer
