OBU’s Researcher Development Matrix outlines the training, professional development opportunities, resources, support, policies and key information available to research-active staff of all career stages (from Research Assistant to Professor).
It maps this provision against the externally-recognised [Vitae Researcher Development Framework](https://www.vitae.ac.uk/researchers-professional-development/about-the-vitae-researcher-development-framework/developing-the-vitae-researcher-development-framework), which covers the knowledge, behaviours and attributes of researchers.
