I presume you're referring to "sink."

Chanakaranathunga1. I hope this is the past participle of "sink."

Yes, it is. You can always look that up in the dictionary.

e.g. have a look here:
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sink

where it says "verb (past sank /sa?k/; past participle sunk /s??k/)"

However, your sentence doesn't make much sense. I suspect you mean:
They have fallen in line with other departments and did the research well.
