Green Chemistry Grants: Petroleum Research Fund, ACS, USA 4343 views

Green Chemistry Grants: ACS Petroleum Research Fund -The primary objective of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI) is to promote advance research in green chemistry by promoting funding, increasing opportunities, and developing information on the benefits of green chemistry to international students.

General Introduction: ACS PRF research grant programs support fundamental research in the petroleum field, and development of the next generation of engineers and scientists through advanced scientific education.

Research areas supported include chemistry, the earth sciences, chemical and petroleum engineering, and related fields such as polymers and materials science. Membership in the American Chemical Society is not a requirement or a factor in awarding ACS PRF grants.

Since the first ACS PRF grants were approved in 1953, several grant programs have evolved to serve segments of the scientific community, including “new investigator” grants and grants to support researchers in departments that do not award doctoral degrees.

Request for Proposals

Proposals are being requested for a $50,000 one-year grant to assist the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable’s biopharma initiative. The focus of the R&D will be toward optimizing the water use in downstream processing steps for monoclonal antibody (mAb) production. Proposals are invited from public and private institutions of higher education worldwide.

Scope of the Fund

  • Synthetic Organic Chemistry
  • Organic synthesis, including organic and organometallic reagents and catalysts, and
    asymmetric synthesis.
  • Geochemistry
  • Isotope, organic and sedimentary geochemistry, marine geochemistry, and
    diaqenesis.
  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Coordination and organometallic chemistry, homogeneous catalysis, small soluble
    clusters, new ligands, main group, transition metal, and lanthanide and actinide
    metal chemistry.
  • Physical Organic Chemistry
  • Reaction mechanisms, kinetics, photochemistry, organic radical chemistry, reactiveorganic species, enzymes in non-aqueous media working on petroleum substrates.
  • Surface Science
  • Surface phenomena and reactions, heterogeneous catalysis, and characterization of
    surfaces directly relevant to petroleum and petroleum products.
  • Chemical Physics/Physical Chemistry
  • Theoretical chemistry, quantum/statistical mechanics, and molecular dynamics;
    optical, laser, ultrafast, and mass spectroscopies: and qas phase reactions.
  • Polymer Science
  • Synthesis, characterization, and properties of polymers and organic materials
    derived from petroleum sources.
  • Geology and Geophysics
  • Stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, geomorphology, structural geology, and
    qeophysics.
  • Chemical and Petroleum Engineering
  • Engineering studies including process and operations control and design, fluid flow
    and multiphase flow dynamics, and related computations.
  • Materials Science
  • Synthesis, characterization, bulk properties and solid-state chemistry of materials
    directly relevant to petroleum, or to conversion of petroleum and petroleum products.
  • Grant Types
  • Information for principal investigators on grant programs and eligibility criteria.

  1. Keen in research offered by certain university Author

    Being as a science stream student need to concentrate on practical rather than theoritical portion.although,theory is also a important part without which none can achieve a work done in laboratory. So,i prefer to work in the fields like green chemistry, nanotechnology soil chemistry etc.hoping ur positive feedback. Thank you!
