The winning article is announced in May and the prize is awarded to

at the ISEMPH annual meeting.

All peer-reviewed articles that use evolutionary principles to advance
understanding of a disease or disease process are eligible.  The prize
committee will give priority to articles with implications for human
health, but many basic science or theoretical articles have such
implications. Authors are encouraged to nominate their own articles,
but nominations of articles by others are also welcome.
