The Researcher Development Framework

The Researcher Development Framework is a professional development framework for planning, promoting and supporting the personal, professional and career development of researchers in Higher Education. It articulates the knowledge, behaviours and attributes of successful researchers and encourages them to realise their potential.

The Framework is designed for both researchers to evaluate and plan their professional development and managers and supervisors of researchers in their role supporting the development of researchers.
