Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation Invites Nominations for Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards
Deadline: November 9, 2006

The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation (<a href="http://dreyfus.org/">http://dreyfus.org/</a>) established the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program to support the teaching and research careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. The program is focused primarily on individual research accomplishments and promise, but evidence of excellence in teaching is also expected.

Institutions in the states, districts, and territories of the United States that grant a bachelor’s or higher degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, or biochemistry may submit nominations to the program. Nominees must hold a full-time tenure-track academic appointment and are normally expected to be within the first five years of their independent academic careers.

The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award provides an unrestricted $75,000 research grant. Of that total, $7,500 is earmarked for departmental expenses associated with research and education. Funds are normally expended over a period of five years.

Institutions may make only one nomination annually for the Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program. Visit the foundation’s Web site for complete program information.
