Vancouver, Wash. - Washington State University has granted one of two Grants and Contract Administrator Service Awards to 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø's Peggy Bowe.
In a ceremony at the Pullman campus Feb. 7, WSU Vice Provost of Research Jim Petersen and Assistant Vice President for Business and Finance Barry Johnston presented the award. Bowe has worked for WSU since 1991, in Vancouver since 2004.
"Peggy works to grow the sponsored research so critical to the development of our research-intensive campus," said Lynn Valenter, 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø vice chancellor for finance and operations. "She provides one-stop project management."
"Many people throughout the WSU system had to work well together to create my success," said Bowe. "When the system works well, then I work well."
Bowe provides support and assistance to faculty during proposal preparation, including understanding submission deadlines, funding agency guidelines, proposal submission process and university policies and procedures. Her services are based on a model being used at two of the WSU campuses - WSU Spokane and 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, blending pre- and post-award services in one position.
91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø is located at 14204 N.E. Salmon Creek Ave., east of the 134th Street exit from either I-5 or I-205. 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø offers 14 Bachelor's degrees, nine Master's degrees and one Doctorate degree and more than 35 fields of study. Visit us on the Web at
