NIH STOPS Awards the 2020 Distinguished Achievement Awards

Over the last 13 years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Scientific Technical and Other Professional Services (STOPS) Program has recognized notable contributions of its contractors through the presentation of Distinguished Achievement Awards. NIH STOPS Contractors may be nominated for accomplishments such as improving the effectiveness or efficiency of an NIH program, developing a new process, facilitating office moves, or filling in during staffing shortages. These awards may otherwise honor employees for bringing value to the NIH in the form of substantial cost savings, database development, or inventions, and novel discoveries.

The NIH STOPS Program Management Office reviews nominations submitted by NIH Federal Task Leaders describing exemplary performance each year. For the 2020 award program, we are proud to announce that 26 Cape Fox Corporation employees received a total of 32 Distinguished Achievement Awards for their exceptional accomplishments, with a few employees receiving more than one nomination.
