FRED HUTCH GRANT INITIATIVE
Building Immunity:
HPV Prevention and Awareness for K-12 students
About the Project
Cancer Pathways is proud to announce that we have been selected as a grant recipient through Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Office of Community Outreach and Engagement (OCOE) Community Grants Program. Through this initiative, we aim to strengthen HPV prevention education by developing grade-banded, culturally responsive, and medically validated HPV eLearning curricula for K–12 students.
This project will run from April 2026 through April 2027. We are currently seeking community and school partners to collaborate with us throughout the project. If you are interested in partnering, please contact our Project Coordinator, Jana Mastrogiovanni, at [email protected].
We also invite you to complete our community survey to help us better understand how individuals and families prefer to receive health information related to HPV (Human Papillomavirus), cancer prevention, and vaccines.
Check back here for ongoing updates, resources, and engagement opportunities throughout the project.
Cancer Health Equity NOW Podcast Feature
Jana Mastrogiovanni, Director of Programs, and Cindy Miller, South Sound Program Manager, joined Fred Hutch’s Cancer Health Equity Now podcast to talk about Cancer Pathways’ HPV education curriculum for K-12 students, developed with funding from Fred Hutch’s Community Grants Program. The conversation also covered the Congolese United Foundation’s work on cancer awareness in African communities, with a shared focus on culturally sensitive education and community trust.
