Congratulations to four outstanding The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers who have received funding designed to support researchers who have narrowly missed out on highly competitive national funding.
The prevalence of impetigo and pharyngitis - which are both superficial group A streptococcus (GAS) infections that precede acute rheumatic fever - is poorly defined. Guidelines recommend the early diagnosis of both infections to prevent ARF; however, screening to enable the concurrent detection of these infections in high-risk populations has rarely been performed.

CIRCA DIEM is using an inexpensive set of eye masks and ear plugs to teach babies born too soon how to tell the difference between night and day – a simple skill which could have lifelong implications for their health and development.
Eight outstanding researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia and the Institute-led Broome STEM Festival are finalists in the 2025 Premier’s Science Awards.
The capacity for children to self-regulate is an important developmental task of early childhood, with caregivers playing an integral role in self-regulation development. While caregivers' emotions and behaviors are known to impact child self-regulatory capacity, the impact of child self-regulation difficulties on parents is less understood.
Physical activity can support physical and mental health among children living with chronic health conditions; however, programmes must be tailored to their specific needs to support participation.
The Kids Research Institute Australia is bringing science to the Kimberley, with a series of free activities for children and families in Broome in the leadup to National Science Week.
