W. Montague Cobb/NMA Health Institute - All of Us e-toolkit 2.5

The All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health. By taking into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology, researchers will uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine. Health care providers from diverse communities are critical to the success of this effort.

“The All of Us Research Program will change the way we do research. Participants will be partners in research, not subjects, and will have access to a wide variety of study results. What we’re doing with the All of Us is intersecting with other fundamental changes in medicine and research to empower Americans to live healthier lives.”
- Dr. Francis S. Collins, Director, NIH


All of Us is part of the Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) , a novel long-term research
endeavor involving the NIH and multiple other research centers. The PMI aims to understand disease prevention and treatment in relation to individual differences in
lifestyle, environment, and biology. While some advances in precision medicine have been made, the practice is not currently in use for most diseases.
