Aimed at developing promising health care policy researchers and practitioners in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and, beginning in 2006, Germany, the Harkness fellowships provide a unique opportunity for individuals to spend up to 12 months in the U.S. conducting a policy-oriented research study, gaining firsthand exposure to managed care and other models of health care delivery, and working with leading health policy experts.
Harkness alumni continue to generate important research based on their fellowship work and move into high-profile positions in their home countries. For example:
 | U.K. Fellow Martin N. Marshall, CBE, M.D., (1998–99) was appointed deputy chief medical officer for the U.K. Department of Health. |
| Australian Fellow Jane Burns, Ph.D., (2004–05) received the Victorian Health Promotion Fellowship and was appointed director of the Sunshine Foundation and director of international health policy and research at the Inspire Foundation. |
| In New Zealand, Elana Curtis, M.D., (2004–05) was appointed senior lecturer at the University of Auckland. |
| Canadian Associate John N. Lavis (2001–02) was named Canada Research Chair in Knowledge Transfer and Exchange at McMaster University. |
