Appropriations Funding for National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Contract HHSN272-2008-00013C with the EMMES Corporation

摘要

From November 2008 through February 2009, an HHS internal review group called the Tiger Team assessed 176 HHS contracts, including 21 NIH contracts. The Contract was 1 of the 21 NIH contracts assessed. For 17 of the 21 contracts, the Tiger Team identified instances in which contract funding was not consistent with the current HHS Acquisition Regulation or appropriations law. The Tiger Team report did not identify its concerns or quantify funding errors by contract. Our objective was to determine whether NIAID funded the Contract in compliance with the purpose, time, and amount requirements specified in appropriations statutes.
