Mandate and remit
HiiP is a suite of healthcare innovation support and engagement services housed at the University of Michigan School of Nursing that operates as a support hub for nurse-led innovation. It serves nursing faculty, staff and students who are developing products, services, processes, clinical interventions or educational initiatives. The program works through three functions it calls consulting (market analysis, intellectual property guidance and pathway planning), coaching (mentorship from concept through launch), and connecting (access to collaborators, university resources and funding opportunities). Outside engagement happens by routing nurse innovators to university commercialization resources, external collaborators and funders rather than by running its own fund. Prospective innovators reach the program through a consultation request form.
These routes appear in the program's sourced public record.
