Description
The Harkness Fellowships in Health Care Policy and Practice are run by The Commonwealth Fund, in collaboration in the UK with the Health Foundation and the National Institute for Health and Care Research. The program gives mid-career professionals a year in the United States to conduct internationally comparative research with leading experts, deepen their understanding of US health care, and develop as health policy leaders.
Research advances health care access, quality and efficiency, particularly for low-income people, the uninsured and people of colour. Fellows may also address other critical health policy issues in the US and other countries. Alongside their research, fellows participate in high-level policy briefings and leadership seminars with US health care leaders, building international relationships for ongoing exchange and collaboration.
