| Individual Development Award (IDA) Portal open for 25-26 Round 2 The UUP Health Sciences Chapter is pleased to announce the opening of the Individual Development Award (IDA) round 2 application acceptance period. The IDA is available to all UUP-represented employees and can reimburse expenses for professional development up to $2000. Applications will be accepted starting today (3/2/26) through May 31st, 5 pm, for projects occurring from 1/1/26 through 7/1/26. Applications are available online here and must be submitted online through the chapter IDA portal. Follow all posted directions on the submission portal. If the directions are not adhered to, the application may be denied. I would now like to address round 1. The application review is a 3-step process. The applications are first reviewed locally by the IDA chapter committee. They are then reviewed by labor relations locally. The final review is by the Office of Employee Relations (OER) in Albany. The local reviews have been completed, and the applications have been released to OER. Due to personnel issues in OER, there has been a delay in their review. The chapter does not have a specific date by which the review will be completed. We believe it will be before the May 31st deadline of round 2, so the monies are not mixed. As round 1 information becomes available, I will share it with the chapter.  |
