American Chemical Society

The American Chemical Society (ACS) is the world largest scientific society, serving chemists and chemical professionals through publications, education, advocacy, and research support. It works to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and the people who make it possible.

ACS supports research and the chemistry community through programs such as the Petroleum Research Fund, which funds fundamental research in the petroleum and related fields, along with fellowships, scholarships, and awards that recognize and enable scientific achievement. These programs reach researchers and students across academia.

Awards are made through competitive review, with eligibility and amounts defined per program and a strong emphasis on supporting early-career scientists and foundational research. Chemists, researchers, and students can track current ACS funding opportunities and deadlines on Atom.
