The Harkness Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for mid-career professionals—academic researchers, government policymakers, clinicians, hospital and insurance managers, and journalists—from Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, to spend up to 12 months in the United States studying a critical issue on the health policy agenda, working with leading U.S. health policy experts, and gaining in-depth knowledge of not only the U.S. health care system, but also those of Fellows' home countries. The Commonwealth Fund also brings together the full class of Fellows throughout the year to participate in a series of policy and leadership seminars with U.S. health care leaders drawn from government, politics, health care organizations, and academia.
As you may be aware, in the United Kingdom, the Harkness Fellowships have been supported by the Nuffield Trust since 2009, and since 2010, are additionally supported by the U.K. National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).. The Nuffield Trust, with strategic focus on the reform of health systems to improve quality efficiency and equity of health care, aims to encourage the next generation of leaders in the policy community, in particular, those with rigorous analytic skills. The NIHR Programme, which funds research on service design and delivery challenges – such as service and system arrangements, teamwork, management, and leadership – aims to engage NHS managers with research.
The deadline for receipt of applications from the UK is September 16, 2013.
