Description
he National Institutes of Health has launched an ambitious longitudinal research project called the All of Us Research Program (https://allofus.nih.gov/). Part of the Precision Medicine Initiative, All of Us seeks to engage one million or more volunteers living in the U.S. to contribute their health data over many years to improve health outcomes, fuel the development of new treatments for disease, and catalyze a new era of evidence-based and more precise preventive care and medical treatment.
The program embraces equity to improve health by encouraging any adult, ages 18 and older to participate. The more diverse the individuals who participate, the richer the data set for precision health research thereby increasing the likelihood for important health discoveries to be made that will positively impact distinct communities of individuals.
To remove potential barriers to participation, the National Institutes of Health is partnering with the National Library of Medicine through its National Network of Libraries of Medicine. This presentation will help translate the All of Us Research Program for conference participants and show how NNLM is supporting librarians’ role in transforming the future of healthcare research and discoveries.
