Submission – The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation – Camille Dreyfus
Teacher-Scholar Awards Program; January 3, 2013
The
Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and
teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. Based on
institutional nominations, the program provides discretionary funding to faculty
at an early stage in their careers. Criteria for selection include an
independent body of scholarship attained within the first five years of their
appointment as independent researchers, and a demonstrated commitment to
education, signaling the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to
both research and teaching. The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program
provides an unrestricted research grant of $75,000.
The
Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program is open to academic institutions
in the States, Districts, and Territories of the United States of America that
grant a bachelor's or higher degree in the chemical sciences, including
biochemistry, materials chemistry, and chemical engineering. Nominees must hold
a full-time tenure-track academic appointment, and are normally expected to
have been appointed no earlier than mid-year 2007. Awardees are from Ph.D.
granting departments in which scholarly research is a principal activity.
Undergraduate education is an important component of the nominee's activities.
