Camille Dreyfus
Teacher-Scholar Awards Program 2008
Internal Deadline:
Monday, November 12, 2007
The Dreyfus
Foundation announces the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards
Program for 2008. Since the University of Minnesota
is allowed to submit only one nomination for this
competition, Research Support Services will coordinate
the selection process.
The original
program was established in 1969 to support the teaching and research
careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. The
program is intended to encourage and support scholars who have demonstrated
early in their independent careers both excellence in research and
a dedication to education in the chemical sciences. The Camille
Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program focuses primarily on individual
research accomplishments and promise, although evidence of excellence
in teaching is also expected. The program will make approximately
fifteen awards of $75,000 each, normally expended over five years.
The eligibility criteria reads as follows:
"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."
