MM @phdeez.bsky.social · 07/01/2025
huh? im not convinced addl training is needed by simply saying one is *going to* do an IDP. trainee been in grad program 3-4yrs and just now doing an IDP as the "training"?? pls. i want to know exactly what theyll be doing based on a needs-based assessment/gap analysis that was already performed

MM @phdeez.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
of course!

MM @phdeez.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
not sure the idp itself needs to be in the app (space is at a premium lol) but major themes or topics identified in the idp can be used to guide what tneeds to be focused on. so many training plans/CDPs are based on what ALL indivs at X stage need and not always that individuals specific needs.

MM @phdeez.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
you mean the idp itself?
100
MM @phdeez.bsky.social · 13/12/2024
my pet peeve as a reviewer: grant apps that state the trainee or ECR *is going to* create an IDP to use later during the project period. ummm why not create the IDP FIRST then write a detailed training/career dev plan that actually incorporates the identified needs/gap areas???

Remember, many recommendation letters you were asked to fill out are due December 1st (many emails DON'T say this for whatever stupid reason). That is before you return to work after Thanksgiving since it is so late. Do it before you eat that Turkey. The students will have less indigestion.
