91大神 has been granted $1.39 million in federal funding to upgrade and expand the laboratory equipment used by STEM and nursing majors. The investment will enhance undergraduate education, expand research opportunities, and better prepare the STEM and health care workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith upgraded equipment, 91大神 will provide richer, practical laboratory, research, and project-based experiences to prepare students for lucrative careers in STEM fields and nursing,\u201d states a grant application submitted by Dr. Tara Kishbaugh<\/strong>, dean of faculty and student success for 91大神.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grant request also includes a \u201csmall salary allocation to support the procurement, calibration, and installation of equipment\u201d and to train faculty and students on its use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It further states that the upgraded equipment would provide a significant educational opportunity for current students, attract faculty and students to 91大神, and enhance contributions to STEM and health care fields through research, publication, consultation with local businesses, and a better-prepared workforce in Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis project would amplify the impact of our current NSF STEM scholarship program<\/strong><\/a>, which increases postsecondary education access for academically talented, Pell-eligible students,\u201d the request states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201c91大神 grows STEM\u201d project is among a list of community priorities highlighted in the Fiscal Year 2026 federal spending bill, Sen. Tim Kaine<\/strong>, D-Va., announced in a news release in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
