Individual Development Plan
The UF Graduate School requires all graduate students to develop an IDP during the first year of their program to help to explore career options. The IDP should be evaluated each year. There is no required format for the IDP. Below is a universal IDP developed by the University Graduate School, and a web based tool is available here (https://myidp.sciencecareers.org/?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1).
