How are participants recruited, and what does participation entail?

Many participants are invited to enroll by one of our partner health care provider organizations, which include large academic medical centers, VA medical centers, and community health centers across the country. Participants can also enroll directly through our website, JoinAllofUs.org, or at certain All of Us events.

All of Us participants are able to share different kinds of information by completing surveys, providing access to their electronic health records (EHRs), and syncing Fitbit devices within the All of Us participant portal. Some participants are invited to visit partner sites to have physical measurements and blood and urine samples taken. The program will stay in touch with participants over time about new opportunities to share data through additional surveys, new research studies, and new electronic tools, including apps.
