There’s no one exactly like you, which is exactly why the
University of Pittsburgh All of Us Research Program needs you!
The All of Us Research Program is an historic effort to gather data
from one million or more people living in the United States,
120,000 in Pennsylvania alone, to accelerate research and
improve health. By taking into account individual differences in
lifestyle, environment, and biology, researchers will uncover
paths toward delivering precision medicine.
The library is partnering with the All of Us Pennsylvania
Research Program as an appointment site for those interested
in participating in the study. To schedule your appointment, call
412.383.2737 or go to JoinAllofUsPa.org/OnlineScheduling. All
participants receive a $25 gift card upon completion of their visit.
Want to learn more? Visit JoinAllofUsPa.org for more
information. If you want to do a deep dive into the national
program, visit JoinAllofUs.org.
Already a member of All of Us? Thank you! To reach our goal of
enrolling one million people nationwide, we hope you will help
us spread the word to your friends and colleagues. Tell everyone
about the importance of the All of Us Research Program and
encourage them to enroll.
We will make edible treats that you can
take home or eat as you make them.
Then you can recreate the goodies at
home in time for the holidays.
