The Award & Eligibility Criteria 

The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented early-career faculty in the chemical sciences.

The Awards Program is open to SLU faculty who meet all of the following criteria: 

• From Ph.D. granting departments 

• Hold a full-time tenure-track academic appointment focused on the chemical sciences 

• Are within the first six years of their independent academic careers at the time of submission of the nomination
