Welcome to the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF). The Vitae Researcher Development Framework is a major approach to researcher development, which aims to enhance our capacity to build the UK workforce, develop world-class researchers and build the UK higher education research base.

Available now - the RDF Planner - an easy-to-use web application that enables researchers to work with Vitae Researcher Development Framework to plan their professional development.  Find out more here.
