Emory Employees Are Invited To Join the All of Us Research Program

Emory University has recently partnered with the All of Us Research Program. All of Us is a health research program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Its goal is to help researchers better understand why people get sick or stay healthy.

The mission of the All of Us Research Program is simple: to speed up health research and medical breakthroughs. To do this, All of Us is asking one million people to share their health data, and samples of blood and urine to build the one of the largest health database of its kind. Researchers can use the database to conduct thousands of studies.

All of Us is asking people from all over the United States to join. Participants will be asked to complete surveys and share information about their health history, lifestyle habits, and environmental exposures over a number of years. Participants will also be asked to provide access to their electronic health records, go to a local enrollment center to have physical measurements taken and to provide blood and urine samples.

Please note that participation in the All of Us Research Program is completely optional. If you decide to join, study leaders and your immediate supervisors will not know whether you have enrolled. Your decision around participation will not affect your employment or benefits in any way.
