The human resource development needs for the university community are broadly addressed in many instances by treating together the needs for both academics and non-academics.
There is some overlap in staff development training for both groups when dealing with topics, for example, involving certain administrative tasks.
Some situations, however, dictate separating HRD into academic and non-academic programs.

• A Doctoral Level Assistantship for Faculty Members Teaching in Georgia Institutions of
Higher Learning
• The Faculty Development in Georgia (FDIG) program has assisted in the professional development of college faculty members since 1964. This program, conducted in cooperation with the Graduate School, gives faculty members with demonstrated competence in teaching an opportunity to continue their graduate education on a full-time basis.
• This goal is implemented by:
• Providing an assistantship that will enrich the faculty member’s professional and academic endeavors.
• Ensuring an academic year of full-time doctoral study at the University of Georgia in the faculty member’s chosen field.
