I think the one from Brown could be a good "programmatic expectations" document, rather an an individual mentor/scholar plan.

Avoid language that implies mentor will give/pass down skills knowledget, etc... to students. It's more about helping them develop those things for themseleves.

I like this one because it seems less like a contract with a specific timeline and deliverables and does a better job of centering student goals and overall outcomes. It may be less frustrating for a student when things don't go as planned and there needs to be flexibility.

What I like about this one is that it combines mentor/mentee expectations and some elements of individual development plans (IDP)

You have put a lot of time and effort into pursuing your PhD degree. Now it's time to focus on how to leverage your expertise into a satisfying and productive career. The Individual Development Plan (IDP) concept is commonly used in industry to help employees define and pursue their career goals. In 2003, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) proposed an IDP framework for postdoctoral fellows in the sciences. AAAS/ Science joined forces with FASEB and experts from several universities (see authors below) to expand on that framework. The result is myIDP - a unique, web-based career-planning tool tailored to meet the needs of PhD students and postdocs in the sciences.

myIDP provides:

Exercises to help you examine your skills, interests, and values

A list of 20 scientific career paths with a prediction of which ones best fit your skills and interests

A tool for setting strategic goals for the coming year, with optional reminders to keep you on track

Articles and resources to guide you through the process

There is no charge to use this site and we encourage you to return as often as you wish. To learn more about the value of IDPs for scientists, read the first article in our myIDP series.
