Zakin Wins Dreyfus Senior Scientist Mentor Program Funding

The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation's Senior Scientist Mentor Program award supports emeritus faculty who maintain active research programs with undergraduates in the chemical sciences.

Professor Emeritus Jacques Zakin, a previous recipient of this award, received a 2014-2015 award to carry out undergraduate research on drag reduction.

The award provides $20,000 over two years for undergraduate stipends and research support.  Recipients of the award create a plan for undergraduate participation in the research proposed and maintain close mentoring relationships with undergraduate students involved in the research.

The  Senior Scientist Mentor Program is open to all academic institutions in the United States that grant a bachelor's degree or higher in the chemical sciences, including biochemistry, materials chemistry, and chemical engineering.

Please congratulate Dr. Zakin on this wonderful award!
