NSF - New RCR Requirement
The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the final implementation plan for ensuring that trainees participating in NSF-funded research projects receive appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research (RCR). Read the announcement.
Individual Development Plans
IDPs provide a planning process that identifies both professional development needs and career objectives. Furthermore, IDPs can serve as tools to help facilitate communication between postdocs and their mentors.
An IDP can be one component of a broader mentoring program and can help postdocs identify:
• Long-term career options they wish to pursue and the necessary tools to meet these goals
• Short-term needs for improving current performance
The development, implementation and revision of the IDP require a series of steps to be conducted by the postdoc and then discussed with his/her mento and ideally both the both will fully participate in the process.
