Rollin is the first award recipient recognized for animal care and use and only the eighth person to receive the award since 2001. The award recognizes individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the field of research ethics and, more specifically, honors people whose work has been seminal, exemplary and the embodiment of a commitment to advancing research ethics.

He began teaching a course in veterinary medical ethics in 1978; it is the first class of its kind at the university level, and the course has been a mandatory part of the curriculum since then. His title is professor of philosophy, animal sciences and biomedical sciences.

Rollin was instrumental in changing the way doctors thought about pain control for animals undergoing surgery. He has given 1,500 lectures around the world during his career, including providing animal welfare talks to nearly 40 veterinary medical schools and colleges in North America. He is the author or co-author of hundreds of published papers, some co-authored with his son Michael, a Denver-based psychiatrist, and 20 books.
