Proposed Collection Title: Center for Cancer Training (CCT)
Application Form for electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP),
0925-XXXX, Exp., Date XX/XXXX, NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection
request is to approve the electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP)
for three years. The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Center for
Cancer Training (CCT) supports NCI's goal of training cancer
researchers with various educational levels (postbaccalaureate,
graduate students, postdoctoral fellows) and for varying periods of
time (3 months to 5 years). The eIDP is an online, detailed
questionnaire focused on responses to career and professional goals and
expectations while the trainee works at the NCI. The eIDP ensures the
NCI trainees are receiving proper career and professional guidance,
making appropriate progress, and determining activities to achieve
their goals. The eIDP is also used to track trainees' career and
professional goals and to ensure trainees receive the tools needed to
achieve those goals. It is expected the trainees will complete the eIDP
annually and that the eIDP process could be improved by their
responses. The effectiveness of training could also be enhanced by the
reports received by the trainees completing the eIDP. Individual
Development Plans have been collected by paper and pencil from trainees
since 2001. With the implementation of the electronic system, a pilot
of the eIDP was approved by OMB (#0925-0046) and implemented in
December 2018. The pilot improved the clarity of the instructions for
the eIDP system, and incorporated feedback from the trainees to improve
the overall trainee IDP experience, which advances the effectiveness of
training.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden are 1,209 hours.
