What to Report to the OIG Hotline
If you are aware of fraud, waste, abuse or misconduct relating to NASA programs and operations, including NASA employees, contracts, subcontracts, grants and sub-grants, you may disclose such information to the NASA OIG Hotline. NASA OIG also has jurisdiction to investigate allegations of whistleblower retaliation involving civil servants (generally the U.S. Office of Special Counsel has primary jurisdiction in this area), contractor and subcontractor employees, grantee and sub-grantee employees and personal services contractors.
What Not to Report to the OIG Hotline
