The Petroleum Research Fund is an endowed fund administered by the Office of Research Grants of the American Chemical Society.  ACS PRF was created to support “advanced scientific education and fundamental research in the petroleum field,” and has provided research grants since 1954.  Principal Investigators at academic institutions doing petroleum-relevant research in chemistry, geosciences, chemical and petroleum engineering, and materials science have been supported by ACS PRF funding.  Distinctive attributes of the ACS PRF are specific grants for support of new investigators beginning their independent research career including both grants for  new investigators in doctoral degree-granting departments, and specific grants for those in non-doctoral departments.  In addition, ACS PRF has designated funding for established faculty in both departments which offer doctoral degrees and those that do not offer the doctoral degree.  Information on all four research grant programs, along with application materials and submission deadlines, is found on the ACS PRF Website, www.acsprf.org.
