Example of completed ‘Competency Radar’. The grading scheme accompanying the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) Global Competency Framework was carefully applied to assess the competency level of a junior researcher in global health. The radar shape readily highlights areas of strengths for this young investigator (who has been involved in designing, planning and interpreting study results), as opposed to major areas where further training and experience should be sought, in line with career plans (eg, the present researcher still lacks confidence in the performance of managerial tasks). The image was generated using the online App for the Competency Radar.
