Internal Deadline: March 14, 2008
**(Nomination must be submitted electronically in a single file, pdf format.)**
Foundation Deadline: May 8, 2008
The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation New Faculty Awards Program seeks to support the scholarly activity of new faculty. The program is open to academic institutions that grant a doctoral degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or chemical engineering. Faculty members who start their first tenure-track appointment in one of these departments in 2008 are eligible for nomination in 2008. Nominees should have the potential to produce an independent body of scientific scholarship of outstanding quality and to make significant contributions to overall education in the chemical sciences. This prestigious award provides an unrestricted research grant of $50,000 and is based on institutional nomination.
The University of Michigan is allowed to nominate only one faculty member for this award.
