Her national and international reputation as an expert in methodologies of randomised clinical trials and in the implementation of analytical models in healthcare, particularly in maternity care, makes her a fundamental and sought-after contributor to competitively funded research projects.
Her research output has generated a significant number of research articles and government reports using her analytic evaluation methodologies, as well as reviews on model of maternity care for low risk, high risk and disadvantaged obstetric populations in Australia.
Since joining WIRF in 2001, Professor Doherty has been awarded a total of $11.8M in competitive grant support, both as chief and partner investigator.
