esearch, monitoring and evaluation capacity will advantage place-based Aboriginal knowledge, leading towardsmore diverse economic outcomes for remote communities.Of course, community researchers can do more than basic research and could be translators and interpreters forvisiting officials, as well as conducting applied research that will enhance the work of staff of government agenciesand improve resulting outcomes. Specifically, we envisage that researchers will work with visiting staff both beforeand after the visits themselves. This will establish long-term relationships and continuity of work, providing forlongitudinal studies and comparisons between communities, as well as sustainable results in the longer term.Establishing a sustainable web of remote research centres will maximise the contribution of specialist Aboriginal andTorres Strait Islander knowledge that includes multiple literacies, languages, cultural protocols, inter-culturalprocesses, the communities’ ‘corporate’ knowledge, and daily lived experiences. The wider impacts will includepositive benefits to health, education, economic development, and increased participation in cultural maintenanceand transmission. These are all recognised as significant targets in the Overarching Bilateral Indigenous Planbetween the Commonwealth of Australia and the Northern Territory of Australia to Close the Gap in IndigenousDisadvantage 2010–2015.
