In this Friday’s PCT Grand Rounds, Joshua Denny of the All of Us Research Program at NIH, will present “All of Us Research Program: Improving Health Through Diverse Technology, Huge Cohorts, and Precision Medicine.” The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, May 5, 2023, at 1:00 pm eastern.
Dr. Denny is the chief executive officer of the All of Us Research Program, which is building a diverse database that can inform thousands of studies on a variety of health conditions.
The All of Us Research Program has issued a new funding opportunity seeking partnerships with national, state, and local engagement partners to recruit and engage participants in the landmark NIH program. Through these partnerships, All of Us aims to create bidirectional and co-equal relationships that engage communities that have historically been underrepresented in biomedical research.
All of Us, a historic effort to accelerate research and improve health, launched nationally in 2018 to create one of the most comprehensive and diverse biomedical data resources of its kind. More than 358,000 participants have enrolled in the program. This latest funding opportunity illustrates the program’s commitment to partnering with organizations that are influential in their respective communities, especially those organizations that work with diverse communities.
The program anticipates funding at least 6 awards in fiscal year 2021 through this latest funding opportunity, each with a total project period of 5 years. Applications are due on November 23, 2020.
All of Us encourages eligible applicants with experience working with and engaging underrepresented communities to apply for this funding. All of Us considers the following populations underrepresented in research: racial and ethnic minority groups; children and seniors; sexual and gender minorities; people living with disabilities; people with barriers in access to care; people who have low income or low educational attainment; and rural residents.
For full details regarding this opportunity, please see the funding announcement.
The latest episode of the NIH Collaboratory Grand Rounds Podcast is now available on the Living Textbook. Part of a special Grand Rounds series on electronic health records (EHRs), “Real World Evidence: Contemporary Experience and Future Directions” follows an in-depth conversation between NIH Collaboratory PI Dr. Lesley Curtis and Dr. Joshua C. Denny, chief executive officer of the All of Us Research Program.
This discussion provides a deeper look into Denny’s May 8 Grand Rounds presentation with co-panelist Dr. Jacqueline Corrigan-Curay, JD, on advancing EHRs and the development of a health condition database by the NIH’s All of Us Program for multi-study use.
In this episode, you will learn more about:
The groundbreaking “All of Us” research program, which aims to enroll and track more than a million people, is asking prospective researchers, community organizations, and citizen scientists for suggestions regarding potential research questions. Ideas can be submitted through a special research page and are due by February 23, 2018. At a Research Priorities Workshop in March 2018, meeting attendees will use the input to set research priorities that will drive the development of the All of Us research platform and associated tools.
