Seven ways to invest in the next chapter of Divine Mercy University.
DMU is moving — and building. The new home on the CUA campus and the programs that train Catholic clinicians, counselors, and spiritual directors all depend on the generosity of donors who share the mission. Pick where your gift lands, or give to the general fund and we'll direct it where the need is greatest.

Melete research initiative
A three-year research program building the measurement science behind a simulation-based training platform for counselors, coaches, and spiritual directors. The software exists; this campaign funds the validated psychometric work — expert panels, scenario validation, human-rater calibration, and predictive-validity studies — that turns it into a publishable instrument of formation across eleven methodologies.

PathwayStudio
An evidence-based intervention engine grounded in the Catholic-Christian Meta-Model of the Person. The core engine works; this campaign funds the productization, the API and partner-integration layer for third-party EMRs, and the multi-year validation study with clinical partner sites. Licensing revenue makes the resulting research library partly self-sustaining post-grant.
