Partnership to Increase Hispanic Cancer Research Education in Colorado

The CSU-Pueblo, as a Hispanic serving institution, and the University of Colorado Comprehensive Cancer Center are collaborating efforts to create a foundation for advancing cancer research, cancer training and career development throughout Colorado. The project includes the Departments of Biology and Nursing at CSU-Pueblo.

The aim of this partnership is to reduce disparities in cancer control and prevention, as well as develop an avenue to promote access to graduate programs for students from secondary education through undergraduate programs in the region.

Nursing Goals for the Project:

• Increase the undergraduate nursing educational offerings in cancer nursing.
• Increase the graduate course offerings in cancer nursing to facilitate advanced practice and research.
• Support the development of career pathways for K-12 students with an emphasis on understanding the process and lifestyle changes contributing to the development of cancer.
