Description
|
In 1994, the Camille and
Henry Dreyfus Foundation invited distinguished chemists and
chemical engineers to a conference exploring the impact of
chemistry on the environment. Based on the conference, the
Foundation initiated the Camille and Henry Dreyfus
Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry. The program
invites experts in environmental science to submit proposals
for the training of new Ph.D. chemists and chemical
engineers in research activities related to chemistry and
the environment. Each awardee may then appoint a
postdoctoral scientist to spend up to two years in a program
intended to stimulate the visiting scientist to carry out
further research in support of environmental understanding
and values. The program is open to all academic and other
not-for-profit organizations that have well-established
research efforts in environmental science or engineering.
These research activities need not be located in traditional
departments in the chemical sciences and collaborations
across departments are encouraged. In general, five
institutions are selected annually to receive a total award
of $96,000 each. The first awards were made in
1996.
