- thanks for sharing this language from NIGMS! def going to incorporate in guidance to my IC's future applicants 🙌🏽
- 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???
