The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards are awards given to early-career researchers in
chemistry "to support the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences... who demonstrate leadership in research and education." The Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar program began in 1970. In 1994, the program was divided into two parallel awards: The
Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program, aimed at research universities, and the Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program, directed at primarily undergraduate institutions. The annually presented awards consist of a monetary prize of $75,000, which was increased to $100,000 starting in 2019. Seven winners of the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards have gone on to win the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry, including
Paul L. Modrich,
Richard R. Schrock,
Robert H. Grubbs,
K. Barry Sharpless,
Ahmed H. Zewail,
Mario J. Molina and
Yuan Tseh Lee. == Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards ==
