Overview
The Commonwealth Fund, in partnership with the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation, offers two Harkness Associate Awards annually. These awards are aimed at mid-career health services or health policy researchers, decision makers (health system managers, clinical leaders, and government policy makers), or journalists. Harkness Associates are interested in gaining an in-depth understanding of the U.S. health care system, developing broader international health policy expertise through interaction with international peers, and establishing an international network with leading health policy experts.
The Harkness Associate Award enables talented Canadians to participate in the Harkness Fellowships in Health Care Policy and Practice, a core program of The Commonwealth Fund’s International Program in Health Policy and Practice. This program selects up to 14 international fellows per year from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, and Germany to spend up to 12 months in the United States doing original research and working with leading U.S. health policy experts.
Canadian Candidates
Candidates must have comprehensive knowledge of Canada’s health system and expertise in one of The Commonwealth Fund’s areas of interest. Candidates must have extensive experience conducting or using research in these areas. They should also have sufficient experience to understand the culture of health system decision-making in Canada. Ideally, candidates will have made significant contributions to date as health system researchers, decision makers, or journalists.
The candidate should be a mid-career professional whose work and career will be substantially enhanced by the award. Candidates should possess the research and communication skills necessary to converse comfortably with peers and senior policy makers in an international setting.
To take full advantage of the potential commonalities with the Harkness Fellows, networking opportunities, and the collaborations afforded by this award, candidates must be engaged in a health services research project or be professionally responsible for a health policy/health care delivery system issue. Associates will be expected to participate at the Final Reporting Seminar and do a formal presentation of their research project findings or a case study that uses research methods and evidence to address a health policy or delivery system challenge. In addition, Harkness Associate Award holders are expected to brief other Harkness Fellows on Canada and its healthcare system.
Potential applicants are advised to contact CHSRF staff at grantsandawards@chsrf.ca to discuss their suitability for this award.
Please note that only Canadian citizens, landed immigrants or permanent residents with five or more years’ tenure in Canada are eligible for this award.

A stipend is available to 2010–2011 Canadian Associates, upon application and approval. This stipend has two components:
Up to $US8,000 in travel and living expenses to enable the Associate to spend up to an additional four weeks in the U.S. to work with his/her U.S. mentor and meet with other experts.
Up to $US12,000 in related research expenses available to candidates proposing a dedicated research project or case study as part of the award; candidates requesting this component of the stipend must commit to submitting an article to a peer-reviewed journal based on the research or case study supported through this award.
