All of Us is working to improve health care through research. Unlike research studies that focus on one disease or group of people, All of Us is building a diverse database that can inform thousands of studies on a variety of health conditions. This creates more opportunities to:
o Know the risk factors for certain diseases
o Figure out which treatments work best for people of different backgrounds
o Connect people with the right clinical studies for their needs
o Learn how technologies can help us take steps to be healthier
o Learn about what makes the All of Us Research Program different.

The All of Us Research Program 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.
Our mission 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.
A graphical representation of the three primary goals of the All of Us research program, showing how they lead into and support one another. At the beginning of the process is nurturing partnerships for decades with at least a million participants who reflect the diversity of the U.S. That step leads to the goal of delivering one of the largest, richest biomedical datasets that is broadly available and secure. That step leads to the goal to catalyze an ecosystem of communities, researchers, and funders who make All of Us an indispensable part of health research. Each of the goals is made possible by a team that maintains a culture built around the program’s core values.
How Can All of Us Make a Difference?
Too often, health care is one size fits all. Treatments meant for the “average” patient may not work well for individual people. Health care providers may find it difficult to coordinate care among specialists or to access all of a patient’s health information. Researchers may spend lots
of time and resources creating new databases for every study.
