\n

As a research operations administrator in the UNMC Department of Surgery, Jackie Pavlik \u2013 the Gold U winner for June \u2013 supports the basic science and clinical research efforts of the surgeons in the department, as well as their collaborators across campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her nominators say Pavlik has created and championed a work environment that allows members to collaborate and support surgery investigators. And her expertise in research administration has led the department to more successful growth in research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavlik, on the other hand, said her success is the result of the people around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have such a great team right now \u2013 they make me look good, and I have complete trust in them,\u201d Pavlik said. \u201cI\u2019ve also had some great mentors along the way, but my current supervisor Tracy Rheault has been instrumental in my growth, and I\u2019m very appreciative of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavlik began her career at UNMC in 1991 as a technologist in a research lab in the VA Liver Study Unit with Georgia Rees, MD, and Michael Sorrell, MD, and has since worked in a number of different labs across campus, including internal medicine, pulmonary, obstetrics, gynecology and pathology. She joined the department of surgery as a grants administrator in 2018 before coming to her current role in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to supporting and leading the research infrastructure within the department, Pavlik reviews grant applications and reports, approves contracts and purchases and created the infrastructure to support clinical trials in the department by recruiting FTEs to support faculty who fall outside the cardiovascular and oncology clinical trial offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavlik said one of the more rewarding aspects of her role is to take researchers\u2019 creative ideas and guide them through the system, with the goal of attaining funding through the National Institutes of Health or other sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavlik\u2019s ability to find ways to streamline processes led to the creation of an online system that allows her to track her team\u2019s progress. One nominator said: \u201cWe continue to expand the number of funded clinical trials, thanks to Jackie and all of her hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavlik said interacting with others and collectively working toward increasing knowledge and supporting future breakthroughs in research has been most rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s a great place to work because of the people that are here. Everybody is working toward the same mission \u2013 we’re all service-based and serving the greater good of the university system,\u201d Pavlik said. \u201cI may not see the immediate benefit of my work, but knowing that I’ve impacted future innovation is rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another nominator said Pavlik\u2019s professionalism and expertise in research administration have inspired and motivated the team to strive for excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavlik said she\u2019s honored and grateful for the Gold U recognition, considering the award another small win in a collection of little wins that make a great career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not working for awards; that’s not why we do it,\u201d she said. \u201cWe work toward hitting a higher standard. I think we\u2019re always our toughest critics, but I am hitting a standard that meets the needs of the department and the university as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
