The 2023–2024 Individual Development Awards Program has been reopened for a second round of applications for the period July 2, 2023–July 1, 2024. Employees who missed the previous deadline for the current program year or did not apply but would like to have until Tuesday, April 30, to submit a new application.

This award program is intended to assist employees in the UUP bargaining unit in developing their full professional potential and preparing for advancement by funding professional development activities. Information on eligibility requirements, types of projects or activities funded, funding priorities, and expenditure limitations, along with the application and instructions, are available on the Human Resource Management website. Please be sure to complete the application in its entirety, including the budget section, where you must indicate the funds requested from UUP IDA in the final column, and submit it with all required supporting documentation listed on the last page of the application form.

The maximum amount that can be awarded for each employee under this program is $2,000. Employees may be funded for up to two projects or activities, not to exceed a total of $2,000. The funded activity must take place between July 2, 2023, and July 1, 2024.
