False Claims Act Attorney: Settlement Involving Fraudulent Conduct Alleged at Northwestern University

As attorneys that represent individuals under the False Claims Act, we wanted to make it known that Northwestern University has agreed to pay $2.9 million dollars to settle charges that it submitted false claims to the United States when two doctors directed and authorized the spending of grant funds on goods and services that did not meet applicable National Institutes of Health and Office of Management and Budget Grant Guidelines.  The complaint blowing the whistle on this fraud was filed by Melissa Theis.  The case has been pursued for over five years by Ms. Theis, who began working at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine in 2007 as a purchasing coordinator in the Department of Hematology and oncology.  As a purchasing coordinator her primary responsibilities included reviewing and processing invoices and travel reimbursement requests submitted by researchers and PI’s working on private and federal government grants.  Almost immediately, Ms. Theis noticed irregularities or red flags with respect to the invoices and reimbursement requests being submitted and paid from NIH grants.

If you have confidential information about a fraud against the government in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas or another state, please contact us as soon as possible for a free case evaluation.
