The Research Technical Staff Award recognizes staff for their distinguished service to the University of Minnesota research community and celebrates exemplary leadership that positively impacted their colleagues and advanced the University's mission.
Abbey Staugaitis serves several roles within the University of Minnesota Medical School including project manager of two National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded clinical trial networks (SIREN and StrokeNet), project manager for the Acute Care Research Coordinator (ACRC) group, and co-director of the UMN Stroke Research Fellowship.

Principal investigators from multiple departments within UMN seek her and her team's expertise--they have successfully coordinated a variety of national and international pivotal clinical trials (both as a coordinating site or local site of a multicenter clinical trial) garnering notoriety and recognition for her team, UMN investigators, and the institution." - Christopher Streib, MD, MS
