Duke's Teamwork and Diversity Awards are given every year to employees who champion the values of collaboration, cooperation and communication as a team or demonstrate respect and value for people of different backgrounds and points of view.
One of this year's Teamwork Awards went to the NIH Response Team, a group of staff and faculty members from the Duke University School of Medicine, Duke University School of Nursing and Duke University who developed and implemented improvements to processes Duke uses to manage grants from the National Institutes of Health.
A Diversity Award went to Duke Cancer Institute Deputy Director Steven Patierno, who has devoted his career to closing health care disparities.
