CHARLESTON, W.Va. — U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations and Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committees, today announced a total of $2,799,136 in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S Department of Education (DoE) to support projects throughout West Virginia.

 USDA FUNDING: First, Senator Capito announced $1,999,664 in total from the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to support five different projects at West Virginia State University (WVSU) that study a variety of methods of maximizing value from different crops.

 “I am happy to see this NIFA funding heading to support programs at WVSU that will pioneer new advances here in our state,” Senator Capito said. “These programs have the potential to increase efficiency in the way we grow and consume food, and can also increase the knowledge we have in science and agriculture to build on in the future.”

 NSF FUNDING: Next, Senator Capito secured $699,472 in funding for West Virginia University (WVU) and Marshall University from NSF to support energy and biology research.

 “West Virginia has a proud history of having some of America’s top research universities. I am excited to see how WVU can revolutionize the way we understand and produce energy with plasma and what we can learn about the history of life itself from Marshall,” Senator Capito said.

 EDUCATION FUNDING: Finally, Senator Capito announced $100,000 in funding to the West Virginia Department of Education from the U.S. Department of Education (DoE) to help expand statewide training and technical assistance to families and practitioners of deaf-blind students for communication and education.

 “Every West Virginia student is valuable and deserves access to a quality education,” Senator Capito said. “This funding from the DoE will help ensure that deaf-blind students have resources that meet their learning needs so they can reach their fullest potential.”
