The All of Us Research Program is a historic National Institutes of Health (NIH) effort to gather data over many years from one million or more people living in the United States, with the ultimate goal of accelerating research and improving health. Unlike research studies that are focused on a specific disease or population, All of Us will serve as a national research resource to inform thousands of studies, covering a wide variety of health conditions. Researchers will use data from the program to learn more about how individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biological makeup can influence health and disease. Participants may be able to learn more about their own health and contribute to an effort that may advance the health of generations to come. Researchers will uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine.
In the past, medical research hasn’t always represented the rich diversity of the U.S. The key to the NIH All of Us Research Program is diversity. The more we know about what makes people unique, the more customized health care can become. Enrollment is open to all eligible adults who live in the U.S. People of every race, ethnicity, sex, gender, and sexual orientation are welcome.
