The Federal Emergency Management Agency confirmed it has awarded Puerto Rico nearly $56 million in grants to cover Hurricane María-related expenses.
Under the motto "Funds to grow," the Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust opened the call for two grant programs with $2.5 million available to boost the economy based on innovation, science and technology.
The funds cover expenses for emergency protective measures, debris removal and for the Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power Pilot Program.
