USA Today’s Nada Hassanein highlighted the All of Us Research Program’s new participant survey on social determinants of health in an article emphasizing the need for diverse data on social and environmental factors that impact health. The article notes that the data will help fill research gaps and guide understanding of what leads to poor health outcomes.
The cornerstone of the All of Us Research Program is building a large group of participants who reflect the diversity of the country. But what about the scientists studying the data? Outgoing NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., answered this question at a face-to-face meeting last year. “If we want All of Us to be a program that leads to all kinds of unexpected insights,” he said, “the best way to get there is to be sure our community of researchers is also diverse.”
Los participantes comparten información sobre sus experiencias diarias para complementar la información clínica y genética y, así, acelerar la investigación de salud y los descubrimientos médicos.
MedPage Today interviews All of Us Research Program Chief Executive Officer Dr. Josh Denny about the program’s initiative to build one of the most diverse databases in history aimed at accelerating individualized care for everyone.
Geoffrey Ginsburg, M.D., Ph.D., has been selected by the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program to serve as its next chief medical and scientific officer. He will be responsible for helping set the scientific vision and strategy for the program. He will also oversee the program’s collection and curation of data, and integration of new data types to support a wide range of impactful scientific discoveries.
