All of Us | All of Us Research Program is a historic, longitudinal effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health. Through this Program, researchers will have information to better understand health and disease and speed up medical breakthroughs. By understanding individual differences in people's health, neighborhood, family and lifestyle, researchers will be able to speed up medical breakthroughs and make progress toward delivering precision medicine. | Priscilla Pemu, MD | E.I.
