Description
The Petroleum Research Fund is an endowed fund, managed by the American Chemical Society that supports fundamental research directly related to petroleum or fossil fuels at nonprofit institutions (generally colleges and universities) in the United States and other countries.
ACS Petroleum Research Fund (ACS PRF) grants are intended as seed money, to enable an investigator to initiate a new research direction. The investigator should not have published or received financial support from another funding agency for the proposed research. Also, proposals that the ACS PRF Committee feels are a logical extension of an investigator’s previous research may be denied as “not a new direction.”
Acess to the Petroleum Research Fund (PRF) Portal to submit an application or grant requirement requires: 1) ACS User ID, and 2) PRF Portal Registration. If you have an ACS ID or need to create one, you should verify that you can logon well in advance of the submission deadline since this system is not administered by PRF.
