A Rockville, Maryland, information technology contractor has agreed to pay more than $1.7 million to settle allegations that it charged the National Institutes of Health for costs that are not allowed to be reimbursed.
Capital Technology Information Services was accused of charging NIH for personal expenses between July 2013 and June 30, 2018. These alleged costs included luxury vehicles, mortgage payments, housekeeping services, and a wedding.
Under the terms of the grant, CTIS was supposed to establish organizations that would study the impact of healthcare systems in a minority community and come up with ways to eliminate possible disparities. Two of the whistleblowers, unspecified by the Justice Department, will split a tenth of the settlement money, or $171,294.94. The other whistleblower will receive the same payment individually.
