This IDP is not meant to track student progress towards specific degree requirements, but instead, to assist students in developing a career plan and to position them to successfully achieve those goals. The DRS PhD program expects students to complete this form at the beginning of the first academic year and to update it annually thereafter. In the second year, students should complete this form in collaboration with their chosen dissertation advisor. Beginning in the fall of the third academic year in the DRS program (after compiling a Dissertation Committee), and continuing each fall thereafter until graduation, students should complete this with their PI, and then share the results with the members of their Dissertation Committee during their fall committee meeting. The completed IDP form should be filed with the DRS Program Administrator by the end of September in each academic year.\nAn Individual Development Plan helps with self-assessment, planning, and communication:\nAn IDP can help you communicate your professional development and career planning needs and intentions to others including your advisor, which can lead to helpful advice and resources.\nYou can use the IDP to make sure you and your advisor’s expectations are clearly outlined and in agreement so that there are no big surprises, particularly at the end of your training.\nThe current job market is challenging, and research has shown that individuals who perform structured career planning achieve greater career success and satisfaction.\nSome of you, especially those early in your studies, may not yet have a firm understanding of where you hope to take your career. The IDP can also help you think about your strengths and weaknesses as you evolve towards career planning.\nThe IDP is meant as a living document, to be modified as you move through the program and solidify your goals and plan.\nTake advantage of this opportunity to reflect on your success and challenges from the previous year and anticipate any successes and challenges in the coming year(s).\nUse the questions below as a starting place for thinking; do not feel you need to respond to all, if some are less relevant for you, and feel free to also consider other aspects not included.\nThe DRS DSC hopes that this opportunity for reflection is helpful and welcome feedback on the process.\nType your responses below each question (or in each box) – use as much space as you need.\nStep 1: Assess\nMake a profile with AAAS’s myIDP (linked below). Complete the exercises annually. While not mandatory, inserting a screenshot of the results into this document is strongly encouraged as will help us identify training gaps and provide you training and career development opportunities tailored to your goals.\nAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS): \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://myidp.sciencecareers.org/\" \\h \u0014http://myidp.sciencecareers.org/\u0015\nDo the results of myIDP questionnaire match the career options you are considering? Where there surprises? Why or why not?\nWhat (still) gets you most excited about pursuing a PhD?\nWhich specific research disciplines most interest you?\nStep 2: Career goal setting\nWhat are your long-term career goals? (e.g., what activities do you want to be doing on a daily basis 5- 10 years after graduation? What career responsibilities do you want to have?).\nWhat professional or other factors inform these goals?\nFor each goal, identify 1-2 shorter-term objectives that may help you achieve that goal.\nAre there factors that you are concerned may negatively affect your progress?
