The Commonwealth Fund Established by Anna M. Harkness in 1918, the mission of The Commonwealth Fund is to promote a high performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society's most vulnerable, including low-income people, the uninsured, minority Americans, young children, and elderly adults. The Fund carries out this mandate by supporting independent research on health care issues and making grants to improve health care practice and policy. An international program in health policy is designed to stimulate innovative policies and practices in the United States and other industrialized countries.

How Do The Harkness Fellowships Work For Families? “I was a bit concerned that my daughter would not make friends easily - how wrong I was! We all had a great time. Also many fellows tended to have young children - I would encourage prospective fellows with older children to also take up the opportunity.” Mark Booth (New Zealand), a 2006-07 Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellow, Assistant Secretary, Department of Health and Ageing, Australia. Family: Spouse, two children ages 14 and 18. “Loved the school and the whole experience. They really grew through it. The school drove them academically and in every other way (very focused on high performance!). My daughter made wonderful friends (first grade), and had a strong American accent by the time we departed for home (lost it in two weeks). The transition home was very smooth, back into our house which was rented to visiting academics on sabbaticalhomes.com.” Robin Gauld, Ph.D. (New Zealand), a 2008-09 Harkness Fellow, is associate professor of health policy in the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, and director of the newly-formed Centre for Health Systems, Otago Medical and Business Schools. Family: Spouse, two children ages 6 and 10.
