项目摘要

An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a career-planning tool that has been widely used in industry for decades to facilitate individual professional growth along various career trajectories. In recent years, IDPs have been adapted to support the career and professional development of graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Despite an interdisciplinary consensus that IDPs, when used properly, provide a framework for helping graduate students achieve their career goals, there is little alignment among STEM disciplines and institutions about the specific, measurable outcomes of IDP use. This knowledge gap inhibits the availability of reliable effective practices for IDP use and its wide adoption among educators. This National Science Foundation Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) award to the American Chemical Society will help define core goals for the IDP process used across STEM disciplines and help develop tools that measure the impact of IDPs on the professional development of graduate students in STEM. The project outcomes will catalyze the generation of evidence for effective use of IDPs - evidence that is needed to scale the use of the IDP process, support and inform additional investments in career planning and graduate education, and foster growth of the field of PhD career development. Ultimately, results from this project have the potential to improve educational outcomes in graduate education and to better prepare the U.S. workforce. This project will work nationally across STEM disciplines to align activities associated with implementing and measuring the impact of the IDP process, fulfilling three project objectives: (1) define core goals and measurable outcomes for the IDP process; (2) develop and test a set of instruments for demonstrating changes in student actions and attitudes resulting from use of the IDP process; and (3) recommend strategies for building a base of evidence on how and why the IDP process works in various contexts. The innovation of this project will be a tool-kit - a collection of standard impact indicators, a set of validated instruments, and guidance on their use - to be used across the STEM graduate education community. Initial drafts of the instruments will be created based on prior research, interviews with a range of STEM stakeholders, and feedback from career planning professionals and assessment experts. The collection of psychometric surveys and other tools will be pre-tested using cognitive interviews, field-tested with students from various graduate programs and backgrounds, and pilot-tested at selected campuses with a statistically relevant number of graduate students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Stakeholder interviews, input from gatherings of subject matter experts, insights from and surveys of those attending discussions with and presentations to the STEM graduate education and career development communities, focus groups of graduate students, and results from use of the tool-kit will be among the methods used to test two project hypotheses: (1) a set of instruments can be developed to measure the impacts of the IDP process as it is used in different ways to guide students with different backgrounds, experiences, and career goals; and (2) engaging a range of stakeholders, nationally and at academic institutions, in developing and testing this set of instruments will form a cadre that is interested and invested in using the project findings, resources, and recommendations to build a broader and more robust research base on the effective use and impact of the IDP process on graduate students. The Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) program is focused on research in graduate education. The goals of IGE are to pilot, test and validate innovative approaches to graduate education and to generate the knowledge required to move these approaches into the broader community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

个人发展计划（IDP）是一种职业规划工具，几十年来一直广泛用于行业，以促进个人沿着沿着各种职业轨迹的专业成长。近年来，国内流离失所者已被调整，以支持科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的研究生的职业和专业发展。尽管跨学科的共识，IDP，当使用得当，提供了一个框架，帮助研究生实现他们的职业目标，有关于IDP使用的具体，可衡量的结果之间的STEM学科和机构很少对齐。这种知识差距阻碍了为国内流离失所者提供可靠有效的做法，也阻碍了教育工作者广泛采用这些做法。这个国家科学基金会研究生教育创新（IGE）奖给美国化学学会将有助于确定跨STEM学科使用的IDP过程的核心目标，并帮助开发工具，衡量IDP对STEM研究生专业发展的影响。该项目的成果将促进生成有效使用IDP的证据-证据需要扩大IDP过程的使用，支持和告知职业规划和研究生教育的额外投资，并促进博士职业发展领域的增长。最终，该项目的结果有可能改善研究生教育的教育成果，并更好地为美国劳动力做好准备。该项目将在全国范围内跨科学、技术、工程和数学学科开展工作，以协调与实施和衡量IDP进程的影响有关的活动，实现三个项目目标：（1）确定IDP进程的核心目标和可衡量的成果;（2）开发和测试一套工具，以展示使用IDP进程后学生行动和态度的变化;（3）制定和测试一套工具，以评估学生的行动和态度。以及（3）建议战略，以建立关于国内流离失所者进程如何以及为何在各种情况下起作用的证据基础。该项目的创新将是一个工具包-标准影响指标的集合，一套经过验证的工具及其使用指南-将在STEM研究生教育社区中使用。这些工具的初稿将根据先前的研究，与一系列STEM利益相关者的访谈以及职业规划专业人员和评估专家的反馈来创建。心理测量调查和其他工具的收集将使用认知访谈进行预测试，与来自不同研究生课程和背景的学生进行实地测试，并在选定的校园进行试点测试，其中统计学相关数量的研究生来自代表性不足的种族和民族群体。利益相关者访谈，主题专家聚会的投入，参加STEM研究生教育和职业发展社区讨论和演讲的人的见解和调查，研究生焦点小组以及使用工具包的结果将被用于测试两个项目假设的方法：（1）可以开发一套工具来衡量IDP过程的影响，因为它以不同的方式用于指导具有不同背景、经历和职业目标的学生;和（2）让一系列利益相关者，在国家和学术机构，参与开发和测试这套工具，将形成一个干部，有兴趣和投资于使用项目的结果，资源，并建议建立一个更广泛和更强大的研究基础上的有效使用和影响的IDP过程对研究生。研究生教育创新（IGE）计划的重点是研究生教育的研究。IGE的目标是试验、测试和验证研究生教育的创新方法，并产生将这些方法推广到更广泛的社区所需的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
