From an article that highlighted the project and recipients of the CoRe award: "the First-year Interest Group (FIG) program, in partnership with the Population Health Initiative, has assigned the CoRe project to first-year students of all disciplines to better understand the population health of the Seattle area. Students work in groups and are encouraged to choose an individual population health topic that intersects with their potential major or general interest to analyze the assets and challenges the neighborhood possesses as it relates to their topic. Each group conducts initial background research, visits their neighborhood together and ultimately combines each member’s individual research into a creative final project that showcases the overall population health of the neighborhood."
