CCNR: The Colorado Collaborative for Nursing Research

1. CCNR: The Colorado Collaborative for Nursing Research

2. CCNR: Statement of Purpose By (a) linking Colorado nursing-care providers and Colorado nurse researchers and (b) providing material/logistical research support for nursing-research projects, the CCNR generates research for translation into evidence-based practice, contributing to world-class health care for Colorado and beyond.

3. CCNR: Context (a) Improvement of patient safety/patient care tops IOM priority list (2009) (b) Tremendous interest/demand from health-care providers (c) Translation is key to (a) and (b)—more EBP requires more E on which to B the P
