This is to request approval of the implementation of an electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP), with an exit survey. Completing an eIDP is a crucial step in a traineesâ professional development and is a standard in graduate and postdoctoral education. An IDP is an effective tool for trainees to think about their career goals and skills needed to achieve them during their time at the NEI. Trainees work together with their research mentor to organize and describe their research projects, consider career paths, and set training goals and expectations.
The eIDP will involve an initial assessment when a trainee starts at the NEI and then collected annually afterwards to track progress as they complete their fellowship. The eIDP system also includes an exit survey to collect outcomes data and assess the mentoring environment in the Intramural Research Program.
