Opportunity

The Program provides a Transformative Research Development Grant of $600,000 to be disbursed in equal installments of $200,000 over three years. From among the set of grantees, one project will be chosen for an additional Transformative Research Award of $1.5 million based on an evaluation of the potential of the work at the beginning of the last year of the Development Grant.

The Dreyfus Foundation Program for Transformative Research supports exceptional, established faculty in the chemical sciences who propose bold, high-risk research with the potential for transformative impact. Transformative research may take many forms, including fundamental advances that open new frontiers in the chemical sciences and discoveries with the potential to create substantial societal impact.
