Harkness Fellowships
2025 marks 100 years of the Harkness Fellowships! In celebration of this milestone, the Commonwealth Fund is introducing this space dedicated to honoring the program’s remarkable legacy, dynamic present, and visionary future. Join us here for stories and insights highlighting contributions to public policy, international dialogue, and leadership development. All are invited here to connect, engage, and be inspired by the Harkness community! The Commonwealth Fund's Harkness Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for individuals who are committed to advancing health care policy and practice to spend a year in the United States conducting internationally comparative research with mentorship from leading U.S. experts. Currently, Harkness Fellows come from nine countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.
