Enrollment for the All of Us Research Program Begins on May 6, 2018

The National Institutes of Health's (NIH) All of Us Research Program will start national enrollment on May 6, inviting people ages 18 and older to participate in the advancement of individualized prevention, treatment, and care for people of all backgrounds, reports the National Institute on Aging . All of Us is expected to be the largest and most diverse longitudinal health research program ever developed. Participants will be requested to exchange health and lifestyle information, including via online polls and electronic health records, and they will have access to study information and data about themselves, with options about how much or little they want to receive. The collected data will be accessible to researchers of all types, including citizen scientists, to support thousands of studies across broad health topics. By sharing the data, NIH hopes to discover how to more precisely prevent and treat health conditions. Knowledge gained from this research could help scientists improve health for generations to come. Enrollment is available here and is open to all eligible adults who live in the United States.
