Professional Development Planning using the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF)

As part of the RF1 (or Prof Doc equivalent) process, new doctoral researchers at Sheffield Hallam University are required to confirm that they have undertaken a Development Needs Analysis and set some initial actions in priority areas.  This must be done on the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) Planner and the ‘my actions’ and ‘my action plan’ reports must be attached to your RF1 application.

This classroom-based session is designed to introduce researchers to the importance of Professional Development Planning and how to undertake a Development Needs Analysis using the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF).  You will start to consider your priority areas for development and how to set actions to help you meet your development goals.

The session is open to all, but aimed at those in the first 3 months of doctoral study (6 months if part-time), ie pre-RF1 stage.
