The annual Moskowitz Prize is awarded each year to the research paper that best meets the following criteria: 1) practical significance to practitioners of socially responsible investing; 2) appropriateness and rigor of quantitative methods; 3) novelty of results.

The Social Investment Forum introduced the Moskowitz Prize in 1996 to encourage and recognize outstanding research on socially responsible investing. It is named for Milton Moskowitz, senior editor of Business and Society Review, and one of the first investigators to publish comparisons of the  financial performance of screened and unscreened portfolios. With Robert Levering he co-authored The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America, and compiles an annual list of the same name for Fortune magazine.
