Description
Summary:The National Institutes of Health (NIH) encourages trainees to make Individualized Development Plans to help them prepare for academic and nonacademic careers. We describe our approach to building an Individualized Development Plan, the reasons we find them useful and empowering for both PIs and trainees, and resources to help other labs implement them constructively. The NIH now encourages trainees to prepare for both academic and nonacademic careers by making individualized development plans (IDPs). In this issue, the DePace lab outlines its approach to IDPs, the reasons why both PIs and trainees find them useful and empowering, and resources to help other labs implement IDPs in a constructive way.
