An incomplete application will put the candidate at a disadvantage. Applications recommended for approval are presented to the Foundation's Board of Directors in time for award announcements in late October 2001. Award Payment and Expenditure Awards will be paid after the Foundation has been notified that a Fellow has been appointed. Awards will be approved for two years, although the grant may be spent over three years in the event of a delay in appointing the Fellow. The second year will be paid upon request, accompanied by satisfactory progress reports from both the Scholar and the Fellow by the end of the first year and after it is determined that the Fellow will remain for a second year.
Final reports are due when all funds are expended.
Technical reports should assess the award's impact on both Scholar and Fellow. Scholars are to be designated as Camille and Henry Dreyfus Scholars, and Fellows as Camille and Henry Dreyfus Fellows.
