The information for the next round of applications for the Harkness Fellowship is below. As you can see, the programme now takes people from Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, NZ and the UK. It's a good thing to do I think - I did it a couple of years ago, and would be happy to try to answer any questions from anyone who is thinking about applying, and may be able to give you some useful contacts if you are thinking about NY.

The Harkness Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for mid-career professionals-academic researchers, clinicians, managers, government policymakers, and journalists-from Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, to spend up to 12 months in the United States conducting a policy-oriented research study, working with leading U.S. health policy experts, and gaining an in-depth knowledge of the U.S., Australian, Canadian, Dutch, German, New Zealand, and U.K. health care systems. Fellows also participate in a series of policy and leadership seminars organized by the Fund throughout the year with U.S. health care leaders drawn from government, politics, health care organizations, and academia. Please see attached Fellowship announcement for additional information about the Harkness Fellowship, including information about financial support (up to US $107,000) and research study themes.
