Caitlin Piette, Senior Associate for Research Development, Research Strategy and Development

Please join us in recognizing Caitlin's support of teams developing and preparing proposals. She excels in her commitment as a resource to these teams, including helping them to understand solicitations and the scope and goals of the program. Her work to help develop strong and balanced supporting components of proposals is exceptional, as well as her work to help shape project descriptions, which is above and beyond her role.

Recently, Caitlin’s excellent editorial skills saved a team hours of work around various organizational schemes, and the team shared this commendation:

The team is very grateful for Caitlin’s work to draft letters of collaboration based only on webpages and her understanding of the role of each external partner. These required almost no editing, and the partners were happy to sign them. On the last day of editing the project description, the team was about a page over length. Caitlin asked for two hours to edit for length and took only one hour. All her cuts and suggestions were easy to accept and suddenly the team was just polishing and looking for any last-minute gaps.

The team shared that Caitlin is the most effective staff member they have worked closely with at 91ÖÆƬ³§, describing her as brilliant, efficient, and an excellent coordinator and communicator. Her support was a bright spot of relief in an environment where funding, requirements, and reporting processes are constantly changing. 91ÖÆƬ³§ is truly lucky to have her.
