Partner of the NIH All of Us Research Program
The All of Us Research Program is a large research program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal is to help researchers understand more about why people get sick or stay healthy. People who join will share information about their health, habits, and what it’s like where they live. By looking for patterns in this information, researchers may learn more about what affects people’s health. The more researchers know about what makes each of us unique, the more tailored our health care can become. Visit JoinAllofUs.org to learn more. The All of Us Research Program will last for 10 years or more. This will allow researchers to study health over time. If you decide to join the All of Us Research Program, you will be contributing to an effort to improve the health of generations to come. You also may learn about your own health. As a former community partner of the program, we hope that more than one million people will join All of Us. It was an honor to work with community members like you on behalf of All of Us and NIH. All of Us and the All of Us logo are registered service marks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.Register for the All of Us Researcher Workbench via the "W.
