Regulatory Competency Framework
2021 Competency Framework
ACCESS FRAMEWORK: English Português
The 2021 Regulatory Competency Framework from the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) describes the essential elements of what is required of regulatory professionals at four key career and professional levels.
The 2021 Framework is a one-of-a-kind tool to help you plan professional development and training for yourself or your regulatory staff. Whether working in the US, Europe, Asia—or anywhere around the world—the framework is designed to be relevant to all regulatory professionals.

These two members-only tools are based on the 2021 Framework and are designed to systematically evaluate the performance of regulatory professionals and to create customized individual development plans.
The 2022 Regulatory Competency Framework Addendum provides performance criteria for the 2021 Framework. Performance criteria can be adapted for use by professionals and human resource departments for the development and performance management of regulatory affairs professionals at all levels.
