Rapidly changing scientific and economic landscapes are prompting graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, graduate programs, institutions, future employers, and the scientific community to consider more effective strategies for developing the careers of early-stage scientists. One way to promote intentional career planning is through the use of an Individual Development Plans (IDP), a document that lists short- and long-term career goals and planned actions for achieving those goals. Graduate departments that embrace IDPs will take a more comprehensive approach to career development, maximizing investments in graduate education. Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, who use effectively designed discipline-specific IDPs will be better prepared for a wider range of careers and better positioned to address complex societal challenges.The proposed team will use the I-Corps L curriculum to build and test a prototype IDP toolkit for the chemical sciences, including processes, templates, and career information resources, and to develop a roadmap for scaling the prototype. Designed for iterative use, IDPs will facilitate: goal setting (long- and short-term), self-exploration (values, interests, and skills), career exploration, and identification and acquisition of needed knowledge, skills, and experience. The effective implementation of IDPs, similar to other educational innovations, requires relevant material that is conveyed using scaffolded and interactive approaches. Input from graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty in the chemical sciences, examples from other disciplines and sectors, social science research, and research on how people learn will be used to determine the desired qualities and characteristics, uses, and anticipated benefits of an IDP for the chemical sciences.

快速变化的科学和经济格局正在促使研究生和博士后学者、研究生项目、机构、未来的雇主和科学界考虑更有效的策略来发展早期科学家的职业生涯。 促进有意识的职业规划的一种方法是使用个人发展计划 (IDP)，该文件列出了短期和长期职业目标以及实现这些目标的计划行动。 接纳国内流离失所者的研究生院将采取更全面的职业发展方法，最大限度地增加对研究生教育的投资。研究生和博士后学者，特别是来自弱势背景的学生，如果使用有效设计的特定学科 IDP，将为更广泛的职业做好更好的准备，并更好地应对复杂的社会挑战。拟议的团队将使用 I-Corps L 课程来构建和测试化学科学的原型 IDP 工具包，包括流程、模板和职业信息资源，并制定路线图 用于缩放原型。 IDP 专为迭代使用而设计，将促进：目标设定（长期和短期）、自我探索（价值观、兴趣和技能）、职业探索以及识别和获取所需知识、技能和经验。 与其他教育创新类似，国内流离失所者的有效实施需要使用脚手架和互动方法来传达相关材料。 化学科学领域的研究生、博士后学者和教师的意见、其他学科和部门的例子、社会科学研究以及人们如何学习的研究将被用来确定化学科学 IDP 所需的品质和特征、用途和预期收益。
