Effective coaching is held responsible for Australia's international sporting performance. Yet little is known about how best elite sports coaches learn effective and innovative high-performance coaching practices. This project aims to identify and contribute to effective elite sport coaching development in Australia. This will be achieved through understanding how best current elite coaches learn through their coaching work. Implications here extend across sport and to other domains of human activity. The contribution of sport to Australian national identity is well established and the economic benefit of sport and more specifically sporting success in Australia is also well recognised.Read moreRead less

Young Australians' perspectives on religions and non-religious worldviews. This project aims to elicit diverse young people’s understandings about religion and belief to inform debate about how education assists or impedes intercultural understanding as well as enhancing wellbeing and social inclusion. Australian governments have invested in programs to promote respect for religious diversity and to counter violent extremism, yet there is no coherent, evidence-based understanding of young Austra ....Young Australians' perspectives on religions and non-religious worldviews. This project aims to elicit diverse young people’s understandings about religion and belief to inform debate about how education assists or impedes intercultural understanding as well as enhancing wellbeing and social inclusion. Australian governments have invested in programs to promote respect for religious diversity and to counter violent extremism, yet there is no coherent, evidence-based understanding of young Australians’ perspectives on religions and nonreligious worldviews. Knowing more about young people's perspectives and what influences them could facilitate development of appropriate educational responses equipping schools to help young Australians to live productively in their diverse society.Read moreRead less
Longitudinal change for teachers and students in relation to professional learning in statistics education. There is a growing need in Australia's information society for statistically literate citizens, and for more young people to choose to continue their study of statistics past school.

There is a growing need in Australia's information society for statistically literate citizens, and for more young people to choose to continue their study of statistics past school. The evidence-based research outcomes for both teachers and students in this study, based on an innovative professional learning program catering for individual requirements of teachers, will provide a model for industries and education systems to follow in reaching these goals. Further, each of the three collaborating industries will participate in research-based investigations into the benefits of its contributions to enhancing teacher and student outcomes in relation to statistics at the school level.Read moreRead less
Innovations in Clinical Education for Physiotherapy Students. Australia has workforce shortages and an ageing population. Physiotherapists are key players in promoting and maintaining good health through their leadership in physical activity and rehabilitation to retain Australians in the workforce and to ensure quality of life for our ageing population.

Australia has workforce shortages and an ageing population. Physiotherapists are key players in promoting and maintaining good health through their leadership in physical activity and rehabilitation to retain Australians in the workforce and to ensure quality of life for our ageing population. There is a national shortage of physiotherapists. Increasing numbers of physiotherapists are being trained, requiring new models of clinical training as there is no capacity in conventional training to cope with student numbers. This research will develop and evaluate new models of training incorporating standardised patients (actors) and simulators (mannequins) which increase education capacity. Models are transferable to other health professions.Read moreRead less

Summary
The ‘Empowering Industry’ project identified an ongoing need for a process to enable Industry to identify and develop R&D ideas into successful projects partnered with suitable providers and funders.
The current project improves on this model by developing an ongoing, cost-effective and transparent process that builds capacity within Industry to identify and initiate R&D, on a coordinated national or regional scale, using the most suitable service providers.

The current project improves on this model by developing an ongoing, cost-effective and transparent process that builds capacity within Industry to identify and initiate R&D, on a coordinated national or regional scale, using the most suitable service providers. This will lead to the development of Industry driven, effective and efficient projects aligning with strategic directions addressing critical issues, such as the economic and social sustainability, across sectors and jurisdictions.
A web-based project registry, using and building on existing sites (eg. SSA, FRDC, WAFIC), will ensure a transparent process to link industry with R&D providers to develop projects in cooperation.
A key focus of this project will be to ensure Industry build closer linkages with the FRABs and understands their requirements, how to achieve them and to encourage cooperation and coordination to harmonise R&D across and between sectors and jurisdictions. The project also seeks a method to engage and involve the FRABs so they better understand Industry’s broader R&D needs.
The process should lead to project proponents seeking out the best service providers, possibly leading to the development of ‘centres-of-excellence’ which will optimise skills, and increase return on R&D dollars.
This project will identify and evaluate Industry R&D ideas, provide a means to put projects into context and assess their suitability, prior to moving further into funding cycles, or identifying other options to achieve the desired outcomes.
This project will seek to have an educational and induction component, identifying FRDC’s and FRAB roles, responsibilities and processes and developing the experiential triangle of R&D; (i.e. Manager-Researcher-industry interactions) to improve outcomes adoption.
Utilising NSILP and ARLP graduates will enhance their Industry standing and input.
Objectives: 1. Empower and build capacity within the broader seafood and fishing industry to identify and initiate relevant R&D projects with suitable partners. 2. To develop an ongoing, cost-effective and transparent process to link industry with suitable R&D service providers and funding options 3. Implement a cost-effective process for one-on-one assistance for industry to engage in the R&D process. 4. Build on, and coordinate, web based linkages between existing databases to cover the full range of R&D service providers required by Industry Read moreRead less
