No, you will have an IPE curriculum applicable and transferable to serious illnesses, such as advanced cardiovascular or neurologic diseases. Additionally you will have learning activities applicable to any IPE effort.

iPEX training is a 9 month commitment. The schedule is as follows:

The fourth and final cohort will be selected in Fall 2021 with training to start in January 2022.

8-10 teams (40 applicants) will be accepted per year.

Due to the pandemic the iPEX workshop for Cohort 3 has been rescheduled. The workshop will take place in Chicago, November 14-17, 2021. The workshop for Cohort 4 will be late spring/early summer 2022.

iPEX is funded by the National Cancer Institute. Airfare ($550 maximum per person), hotel accommodations, materials and some conference meals for the workshop are included.

No, as long as 3 disciplines are represented.

Summary of iPEX Projects:

Cohort 1 iPEX Projects

Cohort 2 iPEX Projects

Your curriculum may target pre- and post- licensure learners (students, residents, and/or fellows) in fields including but not limited to nursing, pharmacy, medicine, psychology, social work, and chaplaincy.

All training costs including the train-the-trainer workshop (airfare up to $550, hotel and most meals) are covered by this grant from the National Cancer Institute. As applicants, the participating faculty need the endorsement of their administration to participate in the iPEX training program. The applying institution would cover any costs associated with implementation of an interprofessional oncology and /or palliative care educational initiative. A budget is not necessary.

Only airfare (up to $550) will be covered.

No CEU’s are not available for this training. Due to the interdisciplinary nature and the many professional licenses represented, it would be time and cost prohibitive for our grant budget.
