U.K. Harkness Fellowships

The U.K. National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and The Health Foundation both partner with The Commonwealth Fund to provide support for the U.K. Harkness fellowships. The NIHR program, which funds research on service design and delivery challenges, aims to engage NHS managers with research. The Health Foundation, an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the U.K., particularly aims to engage policymakers with research and international learning.

Canadian Harkness Fellowships

Since 2001, a collaboration with the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement (CFHI) has brought a Canadian perspective to the program. Beginning with the class of 2012, with co-funding from CFHI, the Canadian Harkness/CFHI Fellowship is offered as a full-time fellowship, based in the U.S.

French Harkness Fellowships

Beginning in 2018, the French Ministry of Solidarity and Health and the Caisse Nationale de l’Assurance Maladie des Travailleurs (CNAMTS) have cosponsored a Harkness Fellow to identify international policy innovations and best practices relevant to the French health care system. A second French fellowship is sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund.
