    The National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institutes of Health, 
may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to 
respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, 
or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and 
approval of the information collection listed below.
    Proposed Collection: Electronic Individual Development Plans, 0925-
0772 and 10/31/2024-Extension, 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 213.
