About this program

The American Chemical Society (ACS) Petroleum Research Fund offers the Undergraduate New Investigator (UNI) Grants to support early-career scientists and engineers at undergraduate institutions in initiating their research programs, with a focus on fundamental research in the petroleum field. The program provides $55,000 over 2 years to generate preliminary data for future funding applications, emphasizing student involvement and publishable-quality research. Eligibility requires applicants to be within the first five years of their first academic appointment, hold a Ph.D. or equivalent, and be appointed at the rank of Assistant Professor or equivalent at a U.S. undergraduate institution, with the ability to supervise undergraduate students. Proposals must allocate at least 40% of the budget to student support and are evaluated based on scientific merit, educational impact, and the principal investigator's qualifications.
