Training PlanAs an Oxford/Cambridge student, we expect that you will develop and update on a regular basis a training plan that you will store in one of your LPM folders. The hyperlinks below lead to blank copies of the Training Plan template designed for your use.
As you work on the development of your training plan, please keep in mind that the Graduate Partnerships Programs (GPP), which is part of the NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE), supports many aspects of student training and provides career counseling services that will be helpful to you as you develop your training plan. We think that the time you spend developing a training plan will enhance your doctoral program experience in ways you will find invaluable as you and your career mature. Research should be your highest priority, but we aim to ensure that you also take part in broad career development activities. The goal is to learn all you can possibly learn from the scientific staff at the NIH and from your fellow trainees while also taking time to learn about other dimensions of your own human development that are as important as becoming an expert in your scientific field. Throughout the year, the OITE and GPP offer an impressive array of training opportunities for you and other NIH graduate students. Monitor the OXCAM and GPP web sites periodically to find the latest announcements for training opportunities that extend beyond the focus of your particular research endeavors. Take advantage of as many of these as possible. You will never regret giving your personal and professional development the fullest attention possible. GPP staff members are available to help you resolve any problems that might arise during your time at the NIH. The GPP encourages you to:
