This year, two staff members – one in the Bio-X Program and another in the Biology Department – will receive Marshall D. O’Neill Awards.

Now in its 21^st year, the award honors staff members who have made outstanding contributions to Stanford’s research mission.

This year’s honorees are Heideh Fattaey, executive director of operations and programs at Bio-X, and Bettye Price, administrative services manager of the Biology Department. Read a profile of Fattaey here and a profile of Price here.

The dean of research established the Marshall D. O’Neill Award in 1990. It was named for its first recipient, Marshall D. O’Neill, who retired that same year after nearly four decades as associate director of the W.W. Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory. A faculty panel chooses the award winner or winners.

Fattaey and Price will be the 32^nd and 33^rd staff members to receive the award.

The award presentation – which includes a check for $5,000 for each winner – will take place at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at the Faculty Club. Anyone who knows either of the winners and would like to congratulate them is welcome to attend.
