ACS Petroleum Research Fund

The Petroleum Research Fund (PRF) is an endowed fund, managed by the American Chemical Society that supports fundamental research directly related to petroleum or alternate energy at nonprofit institutions (generally colleges and universities) in the United States and other countries.

The Petroleum Research Fund is sponsoring its first-ever grant proposal writing workshop August 5-7, 2008. The application window for the workshop is now closed.

Vision

“The ACS Petroleum Research Fund will support innovative fundamental research, advanced scientific education, and the careers of scientists, to aid in significantly increasing the world’s energy options.”

Since the first ACS PRF grants were approved in 1954, several grant programs have evolved to serve segments of the scientific community.
