UPR (Recovery Coordinators) Grant

This EDA investment supports the University of Puerto Rico with hiring disaster recovery coordinators to provide strategic technical assistance, implement recovery strategies, and serve as a liaison between federal, state, and local partners. The project will align existing research and investigation of innovative solutions with recovery efforts, identify eligible grant initiatives, and establish a database of scholarly publications to help with planning. Once completed, the project will support sustainable tourism, help mitigate future disasters, and promote economic development throughout Puerto Rico.
