Ray Schaak has been selected to receive a DuPont Young Professor Grant. This innovative grant program is designed to provide start-up assistance to promising young and untenured research faculty working in areas of interest to DuPont's long-term business.
Initiated in 1968, DuPont has given over 500 of these awards. Many past award recipients have gone on to gain significant recognition in their chosen field from their scientific peers and colleagues. Each faculty member must be nominated by a member of the DuPont technical staff who agrees to serve as the liaison between the company and the faculty member. The decision for making the awards resides with the DuPont Fellows Forum which includes the top scientists in the company.
