Based on reports from the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, NASA also intensified its focus on leadership development. To assist with these transformation efforts focusing on career and leadership development, Congress and NASA charged the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) with conducting an independent review of NASA's implementation of its newly acquired human capital flexibilities.
