Individualized Development Plan (IDP)

Nutritional Sciences IDP & Progress Sheet – Fall 2026

Starting Fall 2027, the UH Graduate Division will require all graduate students to maintain an Individual Development Plan (IDP). To streamline this process, Nutritional Sciences has integrated the official IDP with our PhD progress sheets into a single, all-in-one tracker. PhD students and advisors will meet at the start of each semester to update and submit the IDP.
