Research at UNC with All of Us Data – Getting Started
All Of Us is an NIH-supported research program that brings together academic institutions, healthcare organizations, and community partners to gain deeper insights into human health via data science. With an emphasis on representing diverse US populations, AllOfUs provides access to clinical, genetic, wearables, and personal survey data for over 250K patients in a secure, cloud-hosted analytics environment known as the Researcher Workbench. By collecting such comprehensive health information into a single platform, the program seeks to improve medical research and advance personalized medicine for all.
The Raffield Lab, TISLab, and UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care (PPMH) present a workshop series in fall 2024 to introduce researchers, clinicians, faculty, staff, and students at UNC to both the Researcher Workbench and All Of Us data. Join us to get acquainted this powerful resource and connect with colleagues with similar interests.
