Presidential Rank Awards Honor Four from NIH

Three NIH’ers and one recent retiree were recognized with Presidential Rank Awards recently at an all-day leadership summit at Washington’s Mayflower Hotel.

Betsy Humphreys, who concluded a distinguished career as deputy director of the National Library of Medicine last year, was one of 36 winners of the annual Distinguished Rank Award. That honor includes a bonus of 35 percent of base salary for extraordinary results achieved during a career.

Among the 115 winners of the Meritorious Rank Award, given for sustained accomplishment and resulting in a bonus of 20 percent of salary, are Camille Hoover, executive officer at NIDDK; Kate O’Sullivan, executive officer at NHLBI; and Alex Rosenthal, chief technology officer at NIAID.

The awards were hosted by the Senior Executives Association.
