Oakwood College, a private Historically Black College, located in Huntsville, Alabama, is the recipient of funds from the Academic Research Infrastructure Program. The mission of the College is to provide access to education opportunity, academic excellence and spiritual development for its students who come from diverse backgrounds. Funds will be used to renovate and repair research and research training space in the Emerson A. Cooper Complex, a 15 year old structure that houses the Departments of Biology and Chemistry. Specifically space in the -C+ Building of the Science Complex, originally designed as instructional laboratories will be renovated to correct problems that have resulted from age related deterioration and make space more conducive to performing research. Renovations will consist of: removal of walls to maximize space usage, upgrading of lighting, installation of additional electrical outlets, and fiber optic cabling, replacement of HVAC, and the installation of fixed equipment. The renovations will allow the Departments of Biology and Chemistry to continue their active research programs that enhance science training. Remodeling inadequate facilities will help utilize space more efficiently and provide space for faculty to accommodate additional undergraduate students in their laboratories and train more students for research careers. This project will be instrumental in the College's mission of sustained academic excellence, and the science departments' continuation of producing African American scholars that contribute to the scientific enterprise of the nation.

奥克伍德学院是一所私立历史黑人学院，位于阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔，是学术研究基础设施计划资金的接受者。学院的使命是为来自不同背景的学生提供教育机会、卓越的学术成就和精神发展。资金将用于翻新和修复艾默生 A. 库珀综合大楼的研究和研究培训空间，该大楼是一座已有 15 年历史的建筑，是生物系和化学系的所在地。 具体来说，科学综合楼-C+楼的空间最初设计为教学实验室，将进行翻新，以纠正因年龄相关的恶化而导致的问题，并使空间更有利于进行研究。 翻新工程将包括：拆除墙壁以最大限度地利用空间、升级照明、安装额外的电源插座和光纤布线、更换暖通空调以及安装固定设备。 翻修将使生物系和化学系能够继续开展积极的研究项目，以加强科学培训。 改造不足的设施将有助于更有效地利用空间，并为教师提供空间，在实验室容纳更多的本科生，并培训更多的学生从事研究职业。该项目将有助于学院实现持续卓越的学术使命，以及科学系继续培养为国家科学事业做出贡献的非裔美国学者。
