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 below), and a demonstrated commitment to education,
signaling the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to both research
and teaching.





The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award provides an
unrestricted research grant of $100,000.

    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.
