CSC will host members the All of Us Research Program team for anyone who would like to participate. A description of the study is below. Register if you would like to attend and we'll reach out to schedule a specific time slot. Want to learn

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 and most diverse health databases of its kind. 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.
What Can All of Us Do For You?
If you join All of Us and provide biosamples, like blood or saliva, you may choose to learn more about your DNA.
- Your genetic ancestry
- Your risk for certain hereditary diseases
- Your body's reaction to certain medicines
There is no cost to participate other than some of your time. Most people will spend no more than a few hours a year taking part in the program's activities.
You can find out about research powered by the data you've
shared.
You will join a community of people who are already making a difference.
Why is All of Us Doing This?
Many groups have been left out of health research in the past. All of Us is trying to change that. Researchers need information from large numbers of people who reflect the diversity of the United States. All of Us' goal
is to reach more than 1 million people from all backgrounds. If you join All of Us, you will be asked to answer health surveys and connect your electronic health records and wearable devices. You may also be asked to share
biosamples (like blood, urine, and saliva). All of this information helps paint a full picture of what makes each of us unique. It helps researchers understand how our health history, genetics, environment, and life experiences impact our health.
