This study has monitored babies from birth and will now examine these children as they reach their 18th birthdays for early signs of chronic disease such as heart disease. This is the oldest and largest study of an Indigenous population in the world. Mathematical modelling of bacterial carriage in children. Allen Chengs team will use mathematical models on data previously collected from other studies in Indigenous communities and children in childcare to answer important public health questions. The modelling will promote understanding of the social and health costs of bacterial infection in Aboriginal communities and childcare. It will use educational scenarios to promote uptake of the most cost-effective and socially acceptable interventions. Teaching, learning and living Teaching, learning and living concentrates on supporting the evolution of teaching and learning services appropriate to the Northern Territory and remote environment. Particular emphasis is given to: performance against key national indicators, including literacy, numeracy, attendance and retention effective teaching methods for conferring contemporary literacy and numeracy skills techniques refl ecting evidence based practice for harnessing new approaches and technologies across the teaching and learning spectrum robust analytical tools for costing, evaluating and driving reform in education systems. The National Accelerated Literacy Program (NALP) continues to be an important area of work in the teaching, learning and living research focus. The program is a nationally funded initiative designed to improve the literacy standards of students who are currently failing to read at a level deemed appropriate for their age. The accelerated literacy approach provides teachers with a number of steps that make students familiar with the context and purpose of written discourse. It has proven successful in remote and Indigenous communities because it targets children with limited literary experience in the home. Charles Darwin Universitys role is to provide the strategies and resources to support the Northern Territory Department of Employment, Education and Training (DEET). The educational research program is developing methodology to ensure sustainable literacy improvements through effective educational reform and managed change. The program will be implemented across 100 schools, 700 teachers and 10,000 students by the end of 2008. Additional enquiries will see the overall numbers involved rise even higher. This includes Alcan assisting in improving their Indigenous pre-employment program, with a focus on adult literacy in Nhulunbuy. The Accelerated Literacy Information Analysis System (ALIAS) was launched in 2006 to track and access student outcomes. It has been aligned with DEETs student information to help measure performance against key national indicators, including literacy, numeracy, attendance and retention. Towards the end of 2006, a team of researchers submitted an evaluation report for the fi rst phase of the program. The Graduate Certifi cate in Accelerated Literacy was delivered to 57 students, including external students from South Australia. The University is to develop a new program incorporating accelerated literacy methodology into vocational training outcomes. Development work on this has begun in 2007, with fi rst delivery of the pilot program planned for July. Community, development and identity This research focus spans community strength and experience and social and economic development in desert and tropical Australia and the Asia Pacifi c region. Particular areas of interest include: understanding identity creation, including emerging regional and local identities and sources of confl ict and solutions demographic and societal trends, informing planning and development
