Connect Awards

One of our favorite parts of the Connect Conference is recognizing the incredible work of administrators and teams through the Connect Awards!

We welcome you to help us celebrate grant and research administration excellence by submitting nominations for any of the three awards below:

The Sheri Pulis Award: In honor of Sheri Pulis, a beloved customer from UC Davis and a wonderful person who passed away in 2019. This award is focused on highlighting outstanding service and contributions that helped drive progress in research administration within your organization and the broader community.

The Transformation Award: For individuals or organizations engaged in updating and reimagining their systems across the research lifecycle by implementing multiple Cayuse technologies.

The Productivity Award: Designed for those individuals or organizations that have engaged in driving significant new efficiencies in managing research processes and reducing the burden on their research staff.

In addition, we will recognize a member or team that has made an impact in the Connect Community with the Cayuse Community Champion Award.
