Dave Harris, the 蘑菇视频 Assistant Vice President for Research Administration, recently received the 2023 Cayuse Productivity Award to recognize his efforts in reducing research administration barriers and obstacles at 蘑菇视频.

Beginning nearly a decade ago, Harris led 蘑菇视频 efforts to modernize 蘑菇视频's grant and contract system, and adopted tools and processes to improve efficiency and reduce proposal submission and review delays. 

"When you are using a hard copy, it's really easy to become siloed in your own area," Harris said.

He added that COVID-19 was not a problem for 蘑菇视频's research administration process.

"We continued to effectively manage research in ways that would not have been possible with former systems," he said. "In today's fast paced world, productivity is a crucial factor in achieving success."

Harris and the entire Office of Sponsored Programs and Support are recognized for their effort in helping 蘑菇视频 receive over $48 million in research awards last year--a 200% increase over the past five years.
