The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $149,312 Project Grant to D'Youville University under the Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development program (CFDA 45.162). The funding will support the development of Humanities Interprofessional Education (HIPE) curricula and co-curricular programs for graduate health professions programs at D'Youville. The project aims to integrate humanities content into healthcare education in order to address social, cultural, economic, and racial inequities in the U.S. healthcare system and the delivery of care. The 3-year project will run from May 2024 through April 2027.

Embedding humanities in interprofessional healthcare education [with support from the NEH for a humanities initiative, d'youville university (DYU) will develop humanities interprofessional education (hipe) (pronounced hype) curricula/CO-curricula for graduate health professions programs. The US healthcare system, by design, perpetuates social, cultural, economic, and racial inequality in that the receipt of health insurance and healthcare is tied to income and job status as well as class and race. Additionally, healthcare providers can consciously and unconsciously perpetuate injustices in their unequal and often biased delivery of care. Hipe intends to redress these problems.]
