Grounded in the core theme of educating for student success, Individual Development Plans intend to guide Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ and postdoctoral students in their professional development and career planning.
Graduate students and post-doctoral researchers supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are required to develop Individual Development Plans (IDP). Required progress reports submitted to the NIH must include a copy of the University’s IDP policy, a description of whether the university uses IDPs, and how IDPs are used to assist in the career development of Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ students and postdoctoral researchers supported by NIH.
Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ encourages Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ students and postdoctoral researchers to create and use IDPs to formulate academic and career goals and facilitate conversations with faculty advisors and mentors. All Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ students and postdoctoral researchers supported by NIH funding are required to have an IDP. The Office of Scholarship and Sponsored Projects offers Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty advisors and mentors information on IDP resources, including templates and online resources.
