Overview
The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented early career faculty in the chemical sciences. The campus has been invited to nominate one early career faculty member for the 2021 competition. The program provides discretionary funding to faculty who have attained an independent body of scholarship in the early years of their appointment (see below), a demonstrated commitment to education. Successful scholars show the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to both research and teaching.
Award Amount & Terms
• The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award provides a $100,000 unrestricted research grant.
• Of the total amount, $7,500 is for departmental expenses associated with research and education. Charges associated with indirect costs or institutional overhead are not allowed.
• Defrayal of academic-year salary is not permitted.
• Funds are normally expended over a period of five years. Foundation approval is not required for budgetary changes after an award is made.
• If the awardee leaves the institution, the transfer of the remaining funds requires prior Foundation approval.
Eligibility
• Nominees must hold a full-time tenure-track academic appointment and are normally expected to have been appointed no earlier than mid-year 2015.
