This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Lincoln University, Jefferson City Missouri, is a historically black, 1890 land-grant, public, comprehensive institution. Lincoln's mission is to provide excellent educational opportunities including theoretical and applied learning experiences to a diverse population within a nurturing, student-centered environment. Lincoln University's Department of Life and Physical Sciences has expanded its research program and is renovating Founders Hall, the science building, to upgrade existing space to accommodate research activities and undergraduate research training. The proposed renovations would convert the current spaces into fully operationally wet labs for research and also to upgrade two previously converted spaces housing research. Renovations will include electrical and plumbing installation and upgrades, installation of permanent bench tops and cabinets, asbestos removal, and the addition of new fume hoods. These spaces are currently allocated to five research areas supported by the Department of Life & Physical Sciences including: (1) arthropod vectors and disease ecology (2) adaptive interferometry using photorefractive multiple quantum wells (3) bioenergy production from algae (4) nanotechnology and biosensor production and (5) synthesis of metal complexes of quinone-based compounds. Renovation of these spaces will increase the quality of space for research activities and student projects while providing increased access to research equipment and resources.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助。林肯大学，杰斐逊城密苏里州，是一个历史悠久的黑人，1890年土地赠款，公共，综合性机构。林肯的使命是提供良好的教育机会，包括理论和应用的学习经验，以培育，以学生为中心的环境中的多元化人口。林肯大学的生命和物理科学系扩大了其研究计划，并正在翻新科学大楼创始人大厅，以升级现有空间，以容纳研究活动和本科生研究培训。拟议的翻修将把目前的空间转换成完全可操作的湿实验室，用于研究，并升级两个以前转换的空间，用于研究。翻修将包括电气和管道安装和升级，安装永久工作台和橱柜，清除石棉，并增加新的通风橱。这些空间目前分配给生命物理科学部支持的五个研究领域&，包括：（1）节肢动物媒介和疾病生态学（2）使用光折射多量子威尔斯的自适应干涉测量法（3）从藻类生产生物能源（4）纳米技术和生物传感器生产和（5）醌基化合物的金属络合物的合成。这些空间的改造将提高研究活动和学生项目的空间质量，同时提供更多的研究设备和资源。
