Zoetis Award

The Zoetis Award for Veterinary Research Excellence recognizes outstanding research effort, productivity, and the advancement of knowledge in areas relevant to veterinary medicine. With generous support from Zoetis, we have been able to highlight and celebrate the exceptional research achievements of our very accomplished junior faculty for 38 years.

The award is intended for an outstanding faculty member at an early stage of his or her career. Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, Instructors, Senior Research Associates, Senior Extension Associates, Research Scientists, Principal Research Scientists, Assistant Professors, and Associate Professors are eligible for the award. Nominations are restricted to individuals who, at the submission deadline, are not more than six years beyond their first faculty appointment at Cornell.
