Civil and Criminal Investigations

James C. Evans
Special Agent-in-Charge

The Civil and Criminal Investigations Division is responsible for investigating possible wrongdoing and violations of criminal statutes or regulations involving NSF employees, grantees, contractors, and other individuals conducting business with NSF.

In investigating these allegations we assess their seriousness and recommend proportionate action. When appropriate, the results of these investigations are referred to federal, state, or local authorities for criminal prosecution or civil litigation, or to NSF's Office of the Director for administrative resolution.
