Trainee Individual Development Plan (IDP)
The SRC Training Core leads the effort to support graduate and postdoctoral level cross-disciplinary training in fields related to environmental health and environmental science/engineering. The SRC Training Program includes vital technical cross-training and solving real-world problems facing the Superfund Research Program.
The Center PIs and Core Directors will help trainees to create individualized training plans composed of elements across the six training strategies to meet their unique needs (shown in Figure 1).

Each experiential learning activity is designated as 1 to 3 “units” depending on the time commitment and expectations of the activity. A total of 6 units will be required for PhD SRC Trainees and 3 units will be required for MS SRC Trainees.
Each unit will count toward 1 credit of TOX 699, our "special topics" course, and will appear on the trainee's transcripts with the title of the training activity.
Trainees will also be expected to engage in professional development offerings of the SRC and their individual program.

IDP Tracking FAQs
You need to complete a minimum of three units for Masters and six units for PhDs. However, be sure to sign up for everything you are interested in, so we can gauge interest and create activities.
At any time you can add workshops to your registration. After you log into the system, click on “Start New Registration” to go back to the main list of choices and select more options.

If you have technical questions regarding the tracker, please contact Stacey Harper. We’re trying out something new for tracking, that means we are learning what works best and trouble-shooting any challenges. Don't waste time and get frustrated. We can help you one on one. We will keep track of feedback and challenges, so we can continually improve the system and make decisions for the future.
When you complete an optional workshop, please send an email to [email protected]. Leaders must approve workshop completion within the Admin section of the tracker. Remember required tasks within the Tracks are your responsibility to mark complete.
