About the company
University Of Puerto Rico In Ponce, a state-controlled Hispanic-Serving Institution and minority institution headquartered in Ponce, Puerto Rico, receives federal research and educational grants as a prime recipient (93% of recent awards) across STEM disciplines, institutional development, and student workforce preparation. The institution is a child entity within the University Of Puerto Rico system and does not hold federal prime contracts; its federal engagement is exclusively grant-based, primarily through the Department of Education, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Agriculture.
The institution's customer concentration is dominated by the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education, which accounts for 13 of the 22 distinct awards in the sourced footprint (73% coverage by count), followed by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (3 awards), the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (2 awards), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (2 awards). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $69.9 million.
University Of Puerto Rico In Ponce's recent grant portfolio spans research infrastructure acquisition, STEM education innovation, and student support for underrepresented populations. Representative awards include a $371,368 National Leadership Grants award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (CFDA 45.312, awarded September 2026) to develop a bilingual information literacy curriculum framework for public high schools in Puerto Rico, co-designed with the Puerto Rico Department of Education and led by the Adelina Coppin Alvarado Library; a $248,193 Biomedical Research and Research Training grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (CFDA 93.859, awarded August 2026) to acquire an integrated spectrofluorometry-microscopy system for fluorescence analysis research in biomedical sciences and environmental nanotechnology; a $224,972 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310, awarded December 2025) to develop biodegradable food packaging films with antimicrobial nanoparticles; a $600,000 Higher Education Institutional Aid grant from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.031, awarded October 2024) for the PASEAS initiative strengthening STEM education and institutional research capacity; and a $435,207 Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049, awarded February 2023) supporting a three-year collaborative REU program in combinatorics and coding theory with Williams College and East Tennessee State University, with UPRP serving as sub-awardee administrator.
Activity has remained modest and flat, with one award in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026. Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. The institution also receives sub-grant funding through the Administracion De Compensaciones POR Accidentes De Automoviles under the FIESTA IX program (October 2024 and October 2025). As a primarily undergraduate institution with limited access to sophisticated scientific equipment and serving first-generation college students, individuals from disadvantaged economic backgrounds, and students with disabilities, UPRP uses federal grants to build research infrastructure, strengthen STEM workforce pipeline participation among Hispanic and underrepresented populations, and advance local capacity in food safety, biomedical sensing, and nanotechnology.
