Albert founded the Instituto Dominicano de Estudios Africanos y Asiáticos "Sebastián Lemba" (Indeasel) (Sebastián Lemba Dominican Institute for African and Asian Studies) in 1990. Serving as president and executive director of the organization, she simultaneously continued her work in the education Ministry and at UCSD. In 1992, Albert published two works, Las ideas educativas de José Martí (The educational ideas of José Martí) and a short story La esclava Elena (The Slave Elena). Her publication on Martí led her to be awarded the International José Martí Prize by UNESCO in 1995, which was first established that year to commemorate the centennial of Martí's death. That same year, she was honored by the Ministry of Education with the Pedro Henríquez Ureña Gold Medal. In 1996, on International Women's Day, Albert was honored with the Order of Merit of Duarte, Sánchez and Mella.
