Project Description
The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented early career faculty in the chemical sciences. The Award, which requires an institutional nomination, is based on an independent body of scholarship attained in the early years of their appointment (see eligibility), and a demonstrated commitment to education, signaling the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to both research and teaching.
The Foundation seeks Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholars who, as independent faculty members, demonstrate leadership in original scholarly research of outstanding quality, as well as innovation in and dedication to education.
Recommendations for awards are based upon compelling evidence that the nominee’s independent scholarly research has led to important advances in the chemical sciences, and will continue to do so. The three outside letters of support are of particular value to the reviewers in this regard. Other considered factors are: awards and honors, publication of research achievements in leading journals, success in attracting research funding, and dedication and contributions to education in the chemical sciences, particularly with respect to undergraduates and the larger community.
The nominee’s achievements are assessed by a review panel of distinguished faculty in the chemical sciences. The letters of recommendation should address the nominee’s research accomplishments as an independent faculty member.
Amount per Award: $100,000
Duration of Award: 5 Years
Number of Awards: 18 Awards in 2024
Eligibility
The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program is open to faculty who meet all of the following criteria:
- From 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 chemistry, biochemistry, materials chemistry, and chemical engineering.
- Hold a full-time tenure-track academic appointment focused on the chemical sciences.
- From Ph.D. granting departments in which scholarly research is a principal activity and undergraduate education is an important component.
- Are within the first six years of their independent academic careers at the time of submission of the nomination. Experience has shown that awardees tend to be close to the end of their eligibility window, but all eligible candidates are welcome to apply.
Institutions may submit only one Camille Dreyfus nomination annually. Renominations are accepted.
