T32 PIRE Mentoring

A novel aspect of PIRE is the engagement of an Individual Development Plan for Entrepreneurship (IDPE) Committee, whose primary purpose is to work with the trainee to customize an Individual Development Plan that includes and achieves appropriate entrepreneurial objectives and experiences. Each PIRE fellow will work with the IDPE Committee to develop an Individual Development Plan for Entrepreneurship based on a needs assessment conducted at the start of each fellowship. This process will tailor each fellow’s training plan to his/her specific needs, interests, and goals, allow for adjustments to target deficiencies, and establish the necessary timetable and framework to achieve short- and long-term goals.
