chartered university came into being in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Manchester</st1:place></st1:City>.
Bringing together two long-established institutions, UMIST and the Victoria

of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Manchester</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> has a
unified structure and the size and resources to compete on a global
scale. It has an annual turnover of nearly £500 million, a staff of over
9,000 and a student population of some 30,000, of whom a quarter will be
postgraduates. World-class teaching and research is undertaken with the aim of
equalling the handful of leading UK universities which are truly globally
competitive, which are at the forefront of invention and the generation of
‘intellectual capital’, and which have the capacity to address some
of the most important problems that afflict individuals and communities. The
President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Alan Gilbert (formerly Vice-Chancellor

have a long history of co-operation with one another. They began working
together almost 100 years ago, and for many years students from UMIST were
awarded Victoria University of Manchester degrees. The universities are
contiguous and their proximity has enabled them to develop a number of joint
services, academic programmes and departments. Students from both universities
have benefited from shared services for counselling, careers and residential
accommodation, while Manchester Materials Science Centre and the <st1:place

work has suggested that children with specific language impairment (SLI) have
an increased risk of autism. The magnitude of this risk is considerable,
about 10 times what would be expected from the general population. In
addition, within SLI there is a subgroup of children (a quarter of individuals)
who have some features of the broader autism spectrum disorders (ASD) phenotype
without having a full-blown profile of ASD. At present, the natural history of
SLI is still poorly described, especially in terms of the distinctive
developmental and social elements associated with SLI specifically.
Generally, investigations have not taken into account different SLI subtypes
and thus have failed to distinguish potential contributions to mean differences
in children in the SLI sample who may have had in addition some of the features
of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). </span></font><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=2 face=Arial><span

inter-related research projects will be carried out. Compared to the main
bulk of the literature, the proposed projects have the distinctiveness of going
from an interest in SLI and examining the potential contribution of ASD
comorbidity. For all projects the number of participants with SLI will be
100 or more (242 at 7 years, 234 at 8 years, 200 at 11 years, 113 at 14 years,
139 at 16 and 17 years). In addition, data from 124 typically developing
comparison young people who were stratified according to household income to be
representative of the population of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place

attending language units in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>
in 1995. The study has used a wide ranging test battery at each
assessment point including between 6-12 tests of differing psycholinguistic
skills at each stage, family history data, diagnostic interview and video data,
self, teacher and parent interview and opinion data, educational tests and
achievement and varied measures of social-emotional functioning. This
