About the All of Us Research Program

The National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to collect and study data from at least one million people living in the United States. The goal of All of Us is to speed up health research discoveries, enabling new kinds of individualized health care. To make this possible, the program is building one of the world’s largest and most diverse databases for health research. The program aims to reflect the diversity of the United States and to include participants from communities that have been underrepresented in health research in the past.

The All of Us Research Program is dedicated to providing support to institutions that have a documented historical mission or historical commitment to training underrepresented students. The program recognizes the important role these institutions have played in supporting scientific research, particularly on diseases or conditions that disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities and other U.S. populations that experience health disparities. Although these institutions are uniquely positioned to engage underrepresented populations in research and in the translation of research advances into culturally competent, measurable, and sustained improvements in health outcomes, they often lack sufficient capacity to conduct and sustain cutting-edge health-related research.
