The All of Us Research Program

The All of Us Research Program

The All of Us Research Program, led by NIH, is a longitudinal effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the U.S. to accelerate research and improve health. The program is partnering with participants to build a diverse database that will help researchers better understand how genetics, environmental factors, and life circumstances affect health outcomes. By including groups that have been underrepresented in research, researchers will be equipped to make discoveries and uncover paths toward delivering individualized prevention, treatment, and care for all of us. Learn more about All of Us at AllofUs.nih.gov.
