Description

The National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program is a large-scale United States based research program that began nationwide enrollment in May 2018 and intends to recruit more than one million participants. The program integrates Electronic Health Records (EHR) with survey questionnaire to develop a diverse, information rich database that serves as a central point for many secondary research studies and reduce the need for developing individual single use study specific data collection protocols. The program includes two tiers of data access the Registered tier and the more restricted Controlled tier.
