The Australian–American Health Policy Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for outstanding, mid-career U.S. professionals—academics, government officials, clinical leaders, decision-makers in managed care and other private health care organizations, and journalists—to spend up to 10 months in Australia conducting research and working with leading health policy experts on issues relevant to both countries. Fellows study Australian health policy issues, share lessons learned from the United States, and develop an international perspective and network of contacts to facilitate exchange and collaboration that extends beyond the fellowship experience.
The deadline for receipt of applications for the 2014-15 fellowship is September 5, 2013.
For a 10-month stay in Australia, the fellowship awards up to $89,000 (AUD). There is also a family supplement available.
