Welcome to CORE Winston Salem! CORE stands for Community Organized Research and Engagement and is a collaboration between community members in and around Forsyth County, NC, and researchers at the Wake Forest Claude D Pepper Older Americans Independence Center. We aim to develop a set of tools that will help to broaden the socioeconomic diversity of our local healthy aging research efforts.
This website provides an updated view of our mission statement and our team, offers access to Community Engaged Research resources, and provides information on current projects. CORE members can also access important files and other member resources here.
