New ACS/PRF grants approved Meeting in Cleveland on Dec. 7, the ACS Board of Directors approved 103 new or continued ACS-PRF grants for funda­mental research, committing $2,052,151 of the $6,250,000 authorized for 1981. These grants were recommended from the 289 proposals considered by the PRF Advisory Board at its November meeting. The ACS-PRF grants program is funded by income from the Petroleum Research Fund, which must be used by ACS for " . . . advanced scientific education and fun­damental research in the 'petroleum field/ which may include any field of pure science which . . . may afford a basis for subsequent research directly connected with the petroleum field."

Investigators who wish to have pro­posals considered for funding in 1981 are urged to submit them as soon as possible. Proposals for the May 1981 meeting of the PRF Advisory Board will be accepted as long as possible, but past experience suggests submission by the end of Feb­ruary.

For information or application mate­rial, write to: Petroleum Research Fund, American Chemical Society, 1155—16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, tele­phone (202) 872-4481.

Mass Media Science Fellows Program The American Association for the Ad­vancement of Science (AAAS) invites outstanding natural and social science and engineering students, preferably those at the graduate level, to apply for the 1981 Mass Media Science Fellows Program. Students majoring in English, journalism, or other nontechnical fields are not eligible for these fellowships.

Fellows will work as reporters, re­searchers, and production assistants for 10 to 12 weeks during the summer at radio stations, television stations, newspapers, and magazines throughout the U.S. Fel­lows will have the opportunity to partici­pate in the news-making process to in­crease their understanding of editorial decision making and information dis­semination.

AAAS pays a $250 weekly stipend and travel expenditures. Deadline for receipt of applications is Feb. 15, 1981. Minori­ties, women, and handicapped persons are especially encouraged to apply. For fur­ther information and an application, write: Mass Media Science Fellows Pro­gram, AAAS, 1776 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.
