scientists and engineers doing cutting-edge research.” Managed by DuPont’s Science and Innovation organiza- tion, the program helps promising young and untenured research faculty begin their research careers. In addition, it supports DuPont’s strategic goal of broadening and extend- ing DuPont’s business horizons through the advancement of emerging sciences that originate from inside the company as well as its research partners. The program dates to 1918, when Pierre S. du Pont selected 42 universities in the US and provided grants that supported young faculty. Since 1968, this program has provided over $50 million in grants to more than 700 young professors in 150 institutions in 19 countries. Members of the DuPont Young Professor Class of 2016
