From promise to progress. The future of health research is now.
Our nationwide community of participants and researchers is partnering together to ensure that everyone is included in research. The information our participants generously share is fueling thousands of studies to better understand health and disease and enable more tailored and equitable approaches to care.
ABOUT ALL OF US
The All of Us Research Program is part of the National Institutes of Health and are actively partnering with academic institutions, health care organizations, community partners, and others to create a groundbreaking national research platform.
It is a historic effort to collect and study data from one million or more people living in the United States. The goal of the program is better health for all of us.
Their is to accelerate health research and medical breakthroughs, enabling individualized prevention, treatment, and care for all of us. This mission is carried out through three connected focus areas that are supported and made possible by a team that maintains a culture built around the program’s core values.
CORE VALUES
door_open
Participation
is open to all
People of all backgrounds are welcome. No health insurance is required. You can be healthy or have health issues. You can sign up directly through JoinAllofUs.org or through participating health care provider organizations.
groups
Participants reflect the
rich diversity of the United States
To develop individualized plans for disease prevention and treatment, researchers need more data about the differences that make each of us unique. Having a diverse group of participants can lead to important breakthroughs. These discoveries may help make health care better for everyone.

Participants
are partners
Participants shape the program with their input and contribute to a project that may improve the health of future generations. They may also learn about their own health.

All of Us lets participants see their own information and records.
database_search
Data are broadly accessible
for research purposes
All of Us makes information about participants as a group available in a public database. Everyone can explore the database or use it to make discoveries. Data from individual participants are also available, but only for researchers who apply and are approved. Any personal information that identifies a participant, such as name or address, is removed from data that researchers can access.
security
Security and privacy
are of highest importance
Data are stored in a secure, cloud-based database. All systems meet the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act. Ongoing security tests help protect participant data. Learn more about how the All of Us Research Program protects data and privacy.
