AusHSI PhD student Gayani Amarasinghe is passionate about making pregnancy safer and better for women and families, and advocating for equity in maternal health provision.

Fraud happens in every area of life where there is money and prestige, including scientific research. There are sadly many people who are willing to fake research that fools peer reviewers, but eventually smells fishy when held up to post-publication scrutiny. Research fraud will never be eradicated, but we can reduce its influence with some relatively simple steps.

Known as the Costing Implementation Strategies instrument, Cost-IS provides practical guidance and tools for collecting data and estimating resource costs associated with implementation strategies in health services research.
With the surge in demand for digital health, health services are struggling to manage the requests which they receive daily for consideration. When resources are scarce and budgets restrictive, responding to these requests requires evidence-based approaches to ensure meaningful selections are made.
