Team members will answer questions about the program, and visitors have the opportunity to complete their in-person visit at the mobile clinic to enroll.
All of Us is a nationwide research program administered by the National Institutes of Health to advance individualized prevention, treatment and care for people of all backgrounds. Following the more than 10-month pause of in-person activities due to COVID-19, All of Us resumed in-person enrollment at UAB in January 2021.
“Our team members are thrilled to continue in-person enrollment, talk about All of Us and welcome new participants to this important national research program,” said Cora E. Lewis, M.D., chair of the Department of Epidemiology in the School of Public Health and co-principal investigator for the All of Us Southern Network, headquartered at UAB.
The All of Us Research Program aims to enable discoveries that will improve overall health by encouraging the public to take an active role in steering the future of health research. The national All of Us recruitment goal is 1 million people.
Alabamians age 19 or older, regardless of health status, are eligible to enroll in the program by visiting JoinAllofUs.org/UAB, calling 833-JOIN-UAB or emailing allofus@uabmc.edu.
