The Individual Development Award is intended to encourage our ALERT students to participate in professional development activities throughout the year and to facilitate their future participation in networking and career development opportunities.

ALERT plans to select up to 3 students each year to win this award. The award includes a $1,500 stipend that can be used towards attendance at a professional or academic conference and/or to visit and collaborate with a DHS-HSE-related lab (such as an ALERT partner university, industry partner, national lab, etc.).
