CLC Files Complaint with HHS OIG Alleging Criminal and Civil Ethics Violations by Director Alicia Jackson of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)

Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to investigate potential criminal and civil ethics violations committed by the Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), Alicia Jackson. Jackson’s financial disclosure reports and publicly available information indicate that Jackson may have participated in government matters that she held a financial interest in. Furthermore, Jackson’s financial disclosure reports suggest that she failed to fully and accurately disclose all of her financial interests held through her spouse’s private equity firm, thereby encumbering ethics officials’ and the public’s ability to fully assess potential ethics violations. An HHS OIG investigation is needed to uncover the full extent of Jackson’s financial interests and whether she participated in government matters that affected them.
