NASA OIG: NASA’s Constellation Standing Review Boards Established Without Due Regard for Member Independence Requirements
“We found 21 SRB members–close to one-third of all non-Federal CxP SRB members– with conflicts of interest and determined that each of the SRBs for CxP and its constituent Projects included at least one non-Federal Government employee who was conflicted. Specifically, each SRB included at least one non-Federal Government employee who was an employee or consultant of a NASA contractor with an interest in or contract with either CxP or one of its projects. For example, the 12 non-Federal members of the CxP SRB included 4 members (33 percent) who were not independent.”
