69 grantees receive American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund grants
The spring 2024 grants include doctoral new investigators, new directions, undergraduate new investigators, and undergraduate research grants
by Sara Cottle
August 15, 2024
Sixty-nine researchers received American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund (ACS PRF) grants following the spring 2024 application process. ACS PRF grants “provide seed money to enable an investigator to begin a new direction in research in petroleum-relevant science.” This unique take on funding has played a role in the career journeys of people like current ACS president Mary Carroll and recent Nobel laureate Moungi Bawendi. Awarding the ACS PRF grants contributes to the work of the ACS Scientific Advancement Division, which helps the society fulfill its mission “to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and all its people.”
“ACS PRF projects are so important because they drive discovery and innovation in the chemical sciences, addressing fundamental questions and contributing to a sustainable future,” says Joerg Schlatterer, director of the ACS Office of Research Grants.
The ACS PRF awards close to $20 million a year to around 180 investigators through two application rounds, one in the spring and one in the fall. Applications go through a thorough review process, and the ACS Board of Directors approves each applicant.
The second round of applications for 2024 closes Sept. 6. For more information on application process or becoming a reviewer, you can visit the PRF website.
