Rural Community Needed for Unprecedented Data Research Effort to Unlock Genetic Secrets

The UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health and UW Health are excited to partner with the national All of Us Research Program. All of Us is a health research program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Health information could hold answers to the next major medical discovery. Your health data can drive discoveries, too.

From All of Us

Not all medical treatments and medicines work the same on everyone. That’s because we’re all unique. Even if you have the same disease as someone else, the right medicine for you may not be the right medicine for them. Someone from a city may react differently to a treatment than someone from a rural community. A disease may affect someone who is Asian American differently than an African American individual. In order to help researchers understand these differences, we need health information from a diverse group of people.

All of Us wants to include EVERYONE in health research so researchers have the best chance at finding the best way to care for us all. Join All of Us, health research that values what makes each of us unique.

If you decide to join the All of Us Research Program, you will contribute to an effort to improve the health of generations to come.
