Healthcare disparities in underrepresented populations (including the LGBTQ community) result in imprecise healthcare outcomes and limited access to healthcare. In order to mitigate this issue, biomedical researchers need to include a more diverse range of people in future studies. The All of Us Research Program supports this effort in a massive way....
The All of Us Research Program was the featured topic on “For the Record”, airing on Madison’s CBS affiliate (WISC-TV). Dr. Dorothy Farrar Edwards and Tricia Denman spoke about UW-Madison's role in the program, as well as how those in the greater Madison area can get involved....
The All of Us Research Program has launched the Fitbit Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) project. Now, in addition to providing health information through surveys, electronic health records, and biosamples, participants can choose to share data from their Fitbit accounts to help researchers make discoveries....
In recent years, we have witnessed a remarkable healthcare revolution. Thanks to advances in genetic analysis, molecular biology and cell science, we now know more about the human condition than ever before. This wealth of information opens the door for the next revolution in medicine – treatments that are truly tailored for each patient....
Illumina, Inc., which has a Madison affiliate, Epicentre, announced the launch of its new high-density genotyping array, the Infinium™ Global Diversity Array. This new array was developed for and inspired by the All of Us Research Program. All of Us is an historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States, to accelerate human disease research and improve health. ...
We're, technically, not allowed to enroll badgers, but the "Big Man" was kind enough to help us demonstrate how easy the All of Us enrollment process is....
The underrepresentation of nonwhite ethnic groups in scientific research and in clinical trials is a disturbing trend. The implications of this problem in the limited realm of clinical trials have been reported, but the roots of the disparity run much deeper. Human genomic databases—collections of all the genetic information that has been sequenced over the years—are also heavily skewed toward people of European descent. Research programs, such as All of Us, aim to change this....
The National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program has issued a funding opportunity for a genetic counseling resource to support participants who receive genomic testing and receive results....
The All of Us Research Program invites the LGBT community to join them as partners to help enrich health research....
In possibly the largest research project in human history, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) “All of Us” program will gather information on one million individuals’ genomes. The University of Washington’s Northwest Genomics Center will become one of three centers for this research....
