After the Columbia Accident Investigation Board found NASA's history and culture contributed to the loss of the Shuttle, the agency embarked on a plan to transform organizational and safety culture. Behavioral Science Technology, Inc. (BST) of Calif. was selected to help NASA develop and implement a plan for changing the agency-wide safety climate and culture. The BST assessment, which includes input from an employee survey conducted in February, and implementation plan was submitted to NASA in March.

The results of the assessment are available on the Internet at: http://www.nasa.gov/about/highlights/index.html
