The future of
health begins
with you

Too often, health care is one-size-fits-all. But imagine a future where prevention, treatment, and care are tailored for YOU.

That future starts with research that includes all of us.

What is All of Us?

Part of the National Institutes of Health, All of Us is changing how health research is done.

We're building one of the largest health databases of its kind.

Adults and children from all backgrounds are sharing their health information as part of the All of Us Research Program.

Researchers are already using this data to learn more about why people get sick or stay healthy, and what makes each of us unique.

They're using this information to find better ways to prevent and treat illnesses and to care for all of us.

But there's more to do.

Why All of Us needs you

Our goal is to reach more than 1 million people from all backgrounds.

Researchers need health information from large numbers of people who have different backgrounds and come from different parts of the country.

If you join All of Us, we will ask if you want to share information like:

  • Answers to surveys about your lifestyle and environment

  • Physical measurements like height and weight

  • Electronic health records (EHRs), which are medical records that tell researchers about your health history and patterns over time

  • Samples like blood, urine, and saliva with data about your health

Your data, combined with that of 1 million participants, can help researchers understand how DNA, environment, and lifestyle impact health.

 Why join All of Us? 

Be part of a movement to speed up health research

When you join the All of Us Research Program, you join a historic movement to speed up research that may improve health for generations to come.

Help change the future of health

Researchers are conducting thousands of studies with All of Us data. Their discoveries could lead to better ways for everyone to prevent and treat diseases based on our unique DNA, lifestyles, and environments.

Power the next health discovery

Thanks to All of Us participants, researchers have already learned more about what makes us sick and how we can prevent diseases to stay healthy. You could help power the next health discovery.

Make sure your community is part of health research

We need health research about people of all backgrounds. By studying health information from participants like you, researchers may discover better ways to care for people in your community in the future.

All of Us is a research program and does not provide health care or medical advice.
