The award is named for the  longtime Vice President of Mississippi State University’s School of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine, Rodney Foil, and his wife Rosalind. The award recognizes exemplary collaboration by University employees in those areas of study. 

Due to COVID-19 the annual awards banquet was not held, instead a virtual announcement ceremony was conducted in mid-August.
