From 2020 to 2021, a group of transdisciplinary graduate students collaborated with Caras con Causa, a Puerto Rican non-governmental organization, via the INFEWS-ER Disaster Relief and Resilience cohort. The students were tasked with helping support Caras con Causa's environmental science and STEM education programs. To do this, they created a functional and easy-to-use literature database that could be utilized as a resource to secure grant funding. In this talk, I describe my experience within this collaboration, explain how my cohort and I engaged with Caras con Causa, and discuss a framework for community-focused academia-NGO collaborations.
