Training and Resources
The Office of Postdoctoral Education encourages the development of skills that are applicable across a number of careers. To help facilitate a timely transition to an independent career, we offer programing on professional development, skill building, and wellness--which is a critical component of any successful career.
All of our postdoctoral scholars receive training research ethics in the National Institutes of Health's Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR) and Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) programs. They also work closely with their mentors in goal setting and career planning by creating an Individual Development Plan (IDP).
Individual Development Plan (IDP)
The IDP facilitates self-assessment of skills, guidance in choosing a science career path, goal-setting and evaluation tools as well as an integrated capability for mentors to provide input and feedback.
