The programme is primarily aimed at postdoctoral research staff but would also be useful for other researchers and early career academics who are starting to take on leadership roles or who wish to take on leadership roles in the future. The programme recognises that being effective as a researcher requires many varied skills and attributes, which may differ by discipline. The programme also recognises that researchers may have a great deal of responsibility for their projects and work, but often not a great deal of authority.
