The academic year 2022–23 was designated as a planning year for the IHP. That planning was led by the Framing & Design Committee, co-chaired by Elizabeth R. Cole and Earl Lewis and with 22 faculty, staff, and students drawn from across the university’s campuses.
The committee was tasked with charting the scope and phasing of the project, planning for how various stakeholders will be engaged throughout the project’s duration, and identifying leadership and an organizational structure that will advance the project’s goals and mission.
In July 2023, the Framing & Design Committee released a design for the IHP’s next five years that includes a research plan and priorities, recommendations for additional project activities, products, and processes, and an articulation of the values and commitments that must govern the IHP’s work.
This plan is meant to serve as scaffolding for the work to come, with the acknowledgment that as the work progresses, it may build out in new directions.
