Established in 2009 by the Winn Feline Foundation and American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF), this award honors a candidate's contribution to advancing feline health through their research. The honoree will receive $2,500 and a crystal sculpture, which will be presented at the annual AVMA Convention, plus hotel and airfare to the Convention.

Nomination and Selection Procedures
To be considered, nominees must have demonstrated Winn's mission to advance feline health and welfare through research; have a pattern of following good research study protocols; complete progress reports in a timely manner; and have their research published and acknowledge Winn as a donor of grants when appropriate.
No self-nominations will be considered. Nominations are to include a cover letter from the nominator, a list of significant research achievements, and a concise curriculum vitae (CV) including relevant publications. The cover letter from the nominator must include the name of the award; the name, mailing address, telephone number(s), E-mail address, and college and year of graduation of the nominee; the nature of the nominee's professional activity (type of practice or type of salaried work); organizational memberships (professional and scientific) of the nominee; a 300- to 320-word narrative sketch of the nominee's professional background; and a statement pertaining to the nominee's qualifications for the award.
