The Comprehensive Researcher Development Framework (CRDF)
To improve alignment and transparency around what is expected of researchers in training, we developed the CRDF, which is derived from 56 published frameworks across disciplines and based on input from experts in the researcher community. The CRDF and related tools are available for anyone to download.
