This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This award funds the renovation of laboratory spaces used by five active researchers in the Chemistry Department at Trinity College so they can handle modern, chemical research. Designed for research in 1937, the laboratories used by these five faculty are not well-equipped to handle the demands of modern chemical research. In particular, these laboratories lack control of temperature, humidity and sunlight. Current research projects which will be enhanced by the renovation include work on the use of organometallic moieties to constrain peptides to particular secondary structures, the biological properties of the bone protein osteocalcin and the binding of proteins to DNA, rational syntheses for Buckminsterfullerene and related compounds, the reactivity of transition metal hydrides, and the role of reactive oxygen species in the molecular events associated with neuronal cell death. When completed, the renovations will remove obstacles that slow the pace of accomplishment in the laboratories of the five affected faculty and allow these faculty to continue working with large numbers of undergraduate student researchers.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。 该奖项资助了三一学院化学系的五个活跃研究人员使用的实验室空间的翻新，因此他们可以处理现代化学研究。 这五位教师使用的实验室为1937年的研究设计，无法应付现代化学研究的需求。特别是，这些实验室缺乏控制温度，湿度和阳光的控制。 当前将通过翻新增强的研究项目包括使用有机金属部分将肽限制为特定二级结构，骨蛋白骨钙素的生物学特性以及蛋白质与DNA与DNA的结合，合理合成特性的生物学特性，用于Buckminsterlerene及其相关化合物的反应性，与反应性的相关性相关性，并具有相关的化合物的反应性。神经元细胞死亡。 完成后，翻新将消除限制五个受影响教师实验室成就步伐的障碍，并允许这些教师继续与大量的本科生研究人员合作。
