Individual Development Plan
The IDP is a valuable tool that gives trainees the opportunity to address their short term and long term career goals. The NIH has mandated that IDP's be a regular part of training and that institutions encourage trainees to comply with this mandate. The NIH has also mandated that institutions must monitor and track compliance of the IDP. We thank you for your attention to this important matter.
