Support for a 13th class of Harkness Fellows in Health Care Policy and Practice will allow the Fund to continue developing promising policy researchers and practitioners from Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In 2009, a Swiss Harkness Fellowship was launched in collaboration with the Careum Foundation, and funding from the Norwegian Research Council will enable expansion to Norway in 2010. Building on the partnership model that has enabled the European expansion of the Harkness Fellowships, sponsorship will be sought for a second Scandinavian Fellow and a French Harkness Fellowship in 2009. To leverage the potential of the Harkness Fellowship network for cross-national learning, the Fund will organize a policy forum in 2010 that brings together Harkness alumni and policymakers around reform issues relevant to the U.S.
