Overview

The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences (including biochemistry, materials chemistry, and chemical engineering). The program provides discretionary funding to faculty at an early stage in their careers. Criteria for selection include an independent body of scholarship attained in the early years of their appointment, and a demonstrated commitment to education, signaling the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to both research and teaching.EligibilityThe Foundation has communicated that it 1) prefers to fund faculty nearing the upper range of eligibility (very junior faculty will not be competitive); 2) funds experienced faculty with strong publication records; and 3) supports faculty that have a deep commitment to research as well as both undergraduate and graduate education.

  • Nominees must hold a full-time tenure-track academic appointment and are normally expected to have been appointed no earlier than mid-2017.
  • Institutions may submit only one Camille Dreyfus nomination annually. Renominations are accepted.

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.
  • Funds are normally expended over a period of five years.
