It recognizes service and mentorship rather than funding a defined research project. Nominations document the nominee’s qualifications and contributions, with review by a committee appointed by the AAA president.

Support covers eligible transportation, lodging, and meals within specified limits. The recipient receives an award plaque at the meeting’s Closing Awards Ceremony.
