The "reverse" Harkness Fellowship program established in 2002 by the Australian Department of Health and Ageing in collaboration with the Fund, was renamed the Packer Policy Fellowships in honor of Kerry Packer, chairman of Consolidated Press Holdings, Ltd. The Packer Policy Fellowships program is designed to enable two mid-career U.S. policy researchers or practitioners to spend up to 10 months in Australia conducting research and gaining an understanding of Australian health policy issues relevant to the U.S. Chaired by Andrew Bindman, M.D., the selection committee met in October 2004 and selected the second round of fellows:

Kristen Testa, director of programs to increase health insurance coverage for children and families at The Children's Partnership in California.


Keith McInnes, project director of Cancer Care, a pilot project based at Harvard Medical School that uses electronic health records and information technology to improve the quality of care for cancer patients.
