What is the All of Us Research Program?
The All of Us Research Program is a large research program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The program is a historic effort to accelerate research that may improve health by gathering data from at least one million people living in the United States. By taking into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology, researchers will have the information to better understand health and disease. The more we know about what makes people unique, the more customized health care can become.

Diverse Data Matters to All of Us
Diversity in a research program is important for several reasons. First, where we live, how we live, and our background can all affect our health. Second, many groups of people have been left out of research in the past. This means we know less about their health.
By studying data from a diverse group of people, researchers can learn more about what makes people sick or keeps them healthy.
