In PEPS, the research team constituted the initial coregroup [5]. However, we needed to quickly recruit members for a potential new coregroup. Who among our six partner institutions would be good candidates for the newcore? The research team needed to have individual conversations with each partner tolearn about their interests and to elicit suggestions for activities that would bring thegroup together in a meaningful way. The research team also needed to ascertain whichpartner(s) might have the time, interest, and background to be a
