Abstract: This is to request approval for the continued use of an electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP), with an exit survey. Completing an eIDP is a crucial step in a trainees’ 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 information provided by the trainee on their proposed project, for example, helps their mentor judge the merits and feasibility of said project, helping identify problems early on and prevent possible delays. As research training at the NIH is time-limited (for example, postdoctoral fellows can only stay five years without special permission) and the types of research emphasized at the NIH and NEI are high-risk/high-reward projects that typically span much of the trainee’s tenure, the use of the project section in the eIDP assists mentors and mentees in aligning their goals and has ensured that projects are well thought out and planned to avoid delays. Additionally, in case of a dispute on the direction of a project, the mentor and mentee can refer back to what’s proposed within the eIDP.
