The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented early-career faculty in the chemical sciences, including chemistry, biochemistry, materials chemistry, and chemical engineering. Potential applicants must hold a full-time tenure-track appointment and have been appointed no earlier than mid-year 2018. They demonstrate leadership in original scholarly research of outstanding quality as well as innovation in and dedication to education.

This award provides a $100,000 unrestricted research grant to the awardee, normally expended over a period of five years. Of the total amount, $7,500 may be allocated for departmental expenses associated with research and education. Use for summer salary is permitted, but defrayal of academic-year salary and charges associated with indirect costs or institutional overhead are not permitted.

The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is facilitating the Harvard internal nomination process for this opportunity. Potential applicants must submit an internal pre-proposal, including a nomination letter from a Department Chair or Center Director highlighting the nominee's achievements, to be considered for the Harvard nomination.
