Funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration will be used to enhance the health centers\u2019 interoperability functionality, preparedness to use and share patient data, as well as their capacity to participate in future research opportunities.

The health centers participating in the National Institutes of Health\u2019s All of Us<\/i> research program will help to recruit volunteers to contribute their physical, genomic and electronic health record data for use by researchers looking to measure risk for a range of diseases based on environmental exposures, genetic factors and interactions between the two.

In May, the All of Us<\/i> research program officially began national enrollment. Currently, about 100,000 participants have signed up to provide their health data.

In addition to providing blood and urine samples as well as access to their EHRs, information will be collected from participants in the All of Us<\/i> program through wearable devices, physical measurements, and surveys. Ultimately, the goal is to enroll a million or more volunteers and to build one of the world\u2019s largest biomedical datasets in order to generate medical breakthroughs.
