The Oakwood College HBCU-UP Targeted Infusion Project will allow the college to improve and strengthen its chemistry program to meet American Chemical Society (ACS) certification requirements. This will be accomplished through the acquisition of two critical pieces of equipment (Atomic Absorption, and Gas Chromatograph with a Mass Spectrometer Detector) and the upgrading of a 60 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to an FT-NMR instrument. Oakwood College is a Historically Black Seventh day Adventist institution. The student body is 98% minority and 57% female. There are 60 chemistry and biochemistry majors and 232 biology majors that will be impacted by the instruments requested. The proposed equipment will enhance the undergraduate experience in the entire chemistry curriculum. New and innovative experiments will be selected and incorporated into several existing courses at every level to increase the breath and depth of chemical education. New courses which could not be offered without the new equipment will be developed and offered in the department. The Oakwood College Chemistry Department will then be in a position to seek ACS certification of its program. In addition to positioning the college to earn this important nationally recognized certification, the new instruments will increase the number of students conducting undergraduate research in the department.

Oakwood College HBCU-UP有针对性的输液项目将使学院能够改善和加强其化学课程，以满足美国化学学会（ACS）的认证要求。 这将通过购置两个关键设备（原子吸收和带质谱仪检测器的气相色谱仪）和将60兆赫核磁共振仪升级为FT-NMR仪器来实现。 奥克伍德学院是一所历史悠久的黑人基督复临安息日会机构。学生中98%是少数民族，57%是女性。有60个化学和生物化学专业和232个生物学专业将受到所要求的仪器的影响。拟议的设备将提高本科生在整个化学课程的经验。 新的和创新的实验将被选择并纳入到每个级别的几个现有课程中，以增加化学教育的气息和深度。该部将开发和提供没有新设备就无法提供的新课程。奥克伍德学院化学系将在一个位置，然后寻求其程序的ACS认证。 除了定位学院获得这一重要的国家认可的认证，新的仪器将增加学生在部门进行本科研究的数量。
