FUNDED RESEARCH

The Puerto Rican post-disaster migration project is a collaborative research study conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida (USF) in collaboration with the organization Mujeres Restauradas por Dios and supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). We are collecting stories about the experiences of Puerto Ricans who migrated to the United States after Hurricanes Irma and Maria to understand the challenges and/or opportunities they have faced since they arrived to Central Florida.

The Immigrant Youth Project is a research study supported by the National Science Foundation and conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida and the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at the George Washington University. We are examining the experiences of immigrant young adults living in Florida to understand their social and emotional well-being. We hope to share the insights of our findings with policymakers, advocates, teachers, counselors, and community members to address the experiences of immigrant youth.
