The funding will help aid research in the identification of diabetes susceptibility genes through integrated functional genomics analysis of gene-diet interaction.\r\nInnovation stems from experimentation,Senator Manchin said.Therefore medical breakthroughs stem from researchers who are given the resources necessary to experiment. I am thrilled that scientists at Marshall University will receive this federal funding so they can continue testing and innovating, and improving lives. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will work to secure similar funding in the future.\r\nWest Virginia has the second highest number of individuals diagnosed with diabetes in the United States, Senator Capito said. Research into pre-disposition is critical to combat this life-changing disease, and this grant will help pave the way to a healthier West Virginia, and I'm proud HHS chose to reward such a worthy cause.\r\n###\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-capito-announce-marshall-university-diabetes-research-grant"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0920427739620209, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
