This MUVE Award recognizes and encourages outstanding research, teaching, outreach/extension and service contributions in the fields of medical, urban, and veterinary entomology. These fields are broadly defined as the study of the biology and control of arthropods that impact human health, found in the home or surrounding landscape, and of significance to livestock and companion animals.
The award, sponsored by S.C. Johnson, consists of an inscribed plaque and a monetary amount determined by the interest earned from the endowment. The awardee is presented with the plaque at the MUVE Section business meeting during the ESA Annual Meeting. This award was previously the ESA Recognition Award in Urban Entomology.
