Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions

The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation

Deadline: August 7, 2025

Announcement: early November 2025

The Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions awards provide a $25,000 grant to 1) facilitate a visit and lectures by a notable researcher in the chemical sciences to a primarily undergraduate institution, and 2) fund summer research fellowships for two undergraduate students.

The visiting researcher must give at least two lectures in the chemical sciences. One of the lectures should be accessible and promoted to a wide audience that includes the general public. The remaining lecture(s) may be more technical. The lecturer is expected to spend more than one day at the institution and to substantively interact with undergraduate students and a range of faculty over the course of the visit. The undergraduates funded to engage in summer research are expected to work with on-campus mentors in the chemical sciences.

Selection

The application is evaluated upon the following criteria: One or two examples of the proposed invited lecturer of notability; a schedule for the visit, which is expected to be for a minimum of two days; a description of how the lecturer’s research program would complement departmental activities; and a description of the department’s efforts in scholarly research and education in the contemporary chemical sciences, including any distinctive educational or outreach efforts. The potential lecturer(s) may be contacted by the applicant in advance of the proposal submission to gauge interest and to allow for a better integration of the visit with departmental initiatives.

Applications are reviewed by a panel of distinguished faculty in the chemical sciences. Those recommended for approval are presented to the Foundation’s Board of Directors, and approved awards are announced by early November.

Budget

The award total is $25,000.
$2,500 is to support the honorarium for the lecturer.
$5,000 is to be allocated to the support of the lectures (e.g., travel, accommodation, receptions, dinners).
$11,000 is to support the summer research of the two undergraduate students. Each student stipend is to be no less than $4,500. The balance may be used to defray costs associated with the research and/or the scientific advancement of each student.
$1,500 is to support research supplies for the named summer students.
$5,000 is to support the PI’s summer salary.
Charges associated with indirect costs or institutional overhead are not allowed.

Application Procedure

All materials must be received at the Foundation office by the deadline.

If you have any questions about the application process, or would like to discuss best practices for applying with a member of the Foundation’s team, please reach out to programs@dreyfus.org. The Foundation especially encourages institutions new to the award process to reach out for a discussion.

The body of the application is limited to nine pages (including the online application form). A required appendix is also requested, the length of which is determined by the number of faculty members.
