Best in Research Administration of Grants (BRAG) Award
Kate Shumate
The Research Administration Unit is proud to announce that Kate Shumate is the July 2009 BRAG Awardee. Kate is the pre-award RSA for non-profit contracts and grants in the Division of Hematology/Oncology. Kate has been with the division since 2005. Kate originally joined the division to support Dr. Tempero, then division chief and the transitioned to support the entire division over time. She is extremely popular with the PIs and staff in the division, as evidenced by the following nominations.

She is nothing short of astonishing. Amazing work ethic, competent, calm, focused.

Kate is invaluable to the Division because she not only accomplishes her own work but she is cognizant of other RSAs' workloads around her. She has consistently volunteered to take over other RSA's work when they are away from work.

Her ability to communicate diplomatically and with discretion is unparalleled and she has been instrumental in helping other RSAs communicate more effectively with their PIs.

We are very fortunate and proud to have Kate Shumate as part of our team.

She excels at every job we give her. In addition to being extraordinarily competent, she's also one of the nicest and most considerate employees I've ever had the pleasure to associate with.

Congratulations, Kate!
