New hub and RSVP resources now available 🎉
We’ve officially launched the first set of RSVP interventions designed to support research supervisors and their postgraduate researchers (PGRs). This first release includes:
Supporting PGRs with writing
Giving feedback on PGR writing
Ready to be delivered by anyone who provides professional development support for doctoral supervisors, and developed and piloted in partnership with institutions across the UK and Europe, these resources offer practical, flexible tools to strengthen supervisory practice and support the PGR writing journey.
Access the resources
Download both interventions directly from the RSVP Research Supervisor Development Hub where you will also find details about our approach, key CPD themes and how to navigate the resources.

Learn about the development process, piloting and evaluation, and key insights behind these resources through our two new blog posts.
