The Nurse Oncology Education Program (NOEP) is a statewide cancer education project of the Texas Nurses Foundation, a 501(c)3 responsible for carrying out the charitable, education and scientific activities of the Texas Nurses Association. NOEP’s mission is to provide education on all aspects of cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship to nurses throughout Texas.

NOEP’s vision is that every nurse in Texas will have access to the highest quality, evidence-based information about health promotion and cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship to reduce the burden of cancer in Texas. NOEP strives to work collaboratively with other disciplines and organizations to improve the health status of Texans through education provided to individual nurses and ultimately communities. Education is based on one or more of the following: promoting behavior change to prevent cancer and improve survivorship; designing health-oriented activities to promote optimal health; collaborating with health and community leaders to assess, advocate, and monitor progress in meeting stated health objectives; partnering with other organizations responsible for improving health status; addressing survivorship issues for diverse groups; and committing to narrowing the margin of health disparities in cancer care for Texans.

For this project, NOEP proposes providing statewide, regional, and institution-specific multi-component CNE via conferences and electronic and mobile learning on primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of various cancers including breast, colorectal, and cervical. Some proposed portions of this project will target all Texas nurses while others will focus on niche nursing populations, within Federally Qualified Health Centers, for example. Kirkpatrick’s (2004) level I, II, III and IV training outcomes will be evaluated continuously throughout the grant period for the majority of the proposed projects.
