Proposed Collection Title: Electronic Individual Development Plans,
0925-0772 extension, expiration date 10/31/2024, National Eye Institute
(NEI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Eye
Institute's (NEI) Office of the Scientific Director (OSD) goal is to
train the next generation of vision researchers and ophthalmologists.
Trainees who participate in NEI research come with different levels of
education (student, postbaccalaureate, predoctoral including graduate
and medical students, postdoctoral fellows) and for different amounts
of time (6 months to 5 years). Training at the NEI focuses on
scientific and professional skill development. To enhance their chances
of obtaining their ideal career, completing an annual Individual
Development Plan (IDP) is an important step in helping a trainee's
career and professional development and is standard practice 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 summarize their research projects,
consider career goals, and set training goals and expectations, both
for the mentee and mentor.
This information collection request is to implement an electronic
Individual Development Plan (eIDP). The data collected comes from a
detailed questionnaire focused on responses to professional goals and
expectations while they are at the NEI. It is expected that the
trainees will complete the eIDP annually and by doing so, it will help
enhance the effectiveness of their training by setting clear goals that
can be monitored not only by the trainee themselves but also by their
mentor, the Training Director, and their Administrative Officer. In
addition to this eIDP, the system will also implement an electronic
exit survey. The data collected comes from a detailed questionnaire
focused on responses to questions focused on trainee mentoring and
professional experiences at the NEI as well as their plans after they
depart. It is expected that the trainees will complete at the end of
their tenure and that by doing so, the NEI Training Program can learn
about ways to improve career development opportunities for future
trainees as well as learn more about trainee job choices to better
advise fellows. Additionally, we can use the survey to help determine
mentor effectiveness and help identify problems in mentoring at the
NEI.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 450.
