From the Director: Fiscal Year 2025 was a period of profound transformation and unprecedented growth for the Utah State University Institute for Disability Research, Policy & Practice (IDRPP). Even amidst the disruptions and uncertainties we faced in the latter half of the fiscal year, our IDRPP staff and community demonstrated remarkable resilience, achieving milestones we are eager to share with you in this annual report.
The sheer scale of our reach and impact expanded significantly in FY 2025. Our total number of projects surged from 189 to an impressive 276, and the number of individuals we served directly through our programs and services grew to 3,632 this past year. Maybe the most impressive illustration of our commitment to meeting community needs is reflected in participation in our technical assistance and community training events. The number of community members and professionals who participated in IDRPP training and technical assistance activities more than tripled, reaching over 276,000 individuals across 34 U.S. states and territories!
