Join CONHI to Learn About the NIH 'All of Us' Study
Studying our unique genetic codes has helped researchers look for patterns to better understand what is affecting people’s health. The National Institutes of Health has created the All of Us Research Program to build one of the most robust databases to transform the future of health research. The program provides registered researchers from across the country with access to the extensive health data generously contributed by a diverse cohort. Currently, over 11,600 participant records have been shared with researchers who are working toward innovating the health field.
According to the program, “All of Us is committed to including everyone so that all communities can one day benefit from our research learnings.”
