NIH Seeks Applicants for All of Us Research Program
Posted: 2/4/2023 (CSDE Research)
The All of Us Research Program (All of Us) within the Office of the Director (OD) encourages investigators to apply for grant awards that will advance research in high-priority mission areas of the Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) through two companion FOAs (1) one to use standard methods and approaches to analyze currently available data within the All of Us Research Program’s Researcher Workbench and (2) one to develop new methods, models, and tools and use them to analyze data in the Researcher Workbench. The new tools will be made broadly available to the scientific community. This FOA uses the R21 grant mechanism for new tool development and application, while the companion FOA (link) uses the R03 grant mechanism to support data analysis using standard methods
The All of Us Research Program is building a database to help transform the future of health research by equipping researchers nationwide with expansive health data from various populations, including those populations understudied in biomedical research . The All of Us Research Program characterizes populations that are underrepresented in biomedical research (UBR) as groups that historically have low participation rates in biomedical research studies (including clinical trials). These groups include (1) racial and ethnic minority groups and/or (2) sexual and gender minority groups; (3) children and older adults; and people with (4) disabilities, (5) barriers to accessing health care, (6) lower incomes, or (7) limited educational attainment; and/or (8) residents of rural areas.
