DescriptionGrantsExpenses
UW Population Health Grant grant money was awarded to Dr. Pooja Tandon and her research group to support the implementation of Project Nature. Funds came to BSW from her team at the Seattle Childrens Research. As above, Project Nature is education and supportive resources for pediatric primary care practices to promote time in nature to their patients/patient families during the well child visits.

This was in partnership with New Futures Afterschool program, run through Southwest Youth & Family Services, and is coordinated by the Environmental Science Center at Seahurst Park. The Norcliffe Funds reimbursed her program fro naturalists to present the program, development of the curriculum, plants and equipment used in the restoration, and refreshments.-$2,325
