ACS PRF New Directions research grants are $110,000 for a two-year period. This amount is exclusive of any added research supplements that might be recommended and authorized to further assist the principal investigator. ACS PRF grants do not include a contribution to institutional overhead or administrative charges.

A new research direction means that it is something different from previous research performed by the lead principal investigator (lead PI), even though it may involve a field of science or engineering in which others are already working.

Submit the complete and fully signed proposal application form, including pp. 1-6 of the current version of the application form (this document) and any attachments, as a single PDF file, through the online proposal submission web site at www.acsprf.org (follow the New Directions link).
