  1. Vitae Researcher Development Framework and the UK Professional Standards Framework Dr Janet Metcalfe, Vitaejanet.metcalfe@vitae.ac.uk

  2. Vitae ResearcherDevelopment Framework • Framework of the knowledge, behaviour and attributes of successful researchers • Developed through interviews with successful researchers • Enables self-assessment of strengths and areas for further development • Common language for researchers capabilities • Strategic statement endorsed by over 30 organisations including Universities UK, HEA and Research Councils

  3. Vitae Researcher Development FrameworkLenses focussing on clusters capabilities Highlighting sets of researchers’ capabilities acquired or used in various other contexts • Direct focus within the RDF • Enterprise (EEUK, NCEE, RCUK) • Leadership (LFHE) • Knowledge exchange (AURIL) • Intrapreneurship • Getting started in research • Under development • Mobility • Placements • Supervision • Bridging the RDF to other frameworks • and professional standards • Teaching (HEA UKPSF) • Engineering (Engineering Council) • Employability (employer surveys) • Public engagement (NCCPE, RCUK) • Information literacy (SCONUL)

  4. Teaching lens on the Vitae RDF and UKPSF • Developed by Vitae with HEA, Staff and Education Development Association (SEDA), Heads of Education Development Group (HEDG), and researcher developers • Describes how the expertise, knowledge and values that are required for teaching can contribute to researcher development and vice versa • How teaching and supporting learning can contribute to professional development as a researcher • How research competencies can contribute to development in teaching and supporting learning • Support professional recognition for teaching and supporting learning experience • Provide a language to evidence the transferability of teaching skills in CVs, applications and interviews • Strategically align teaching and supporting learning provision with researcher development
