All IN for Health and All of Us: What Are They and How Can I Access Them
Speaker: Brenda Hudson

One is, All IN for Health, an initiative of the Indiana CTSI, to engage the public in bi-directional conversations to improve the public understanding of the role and value of research. This initiative partners with the community to design, talk about, and share health research and its findings to the public in lay terms.

The second, All of Us is a large national research program conducted by NIH to enroll a million, primarily medically underserved, into a biorepository. Currently, there is over 700,000 adult persons enrolled. Researchers can create a workbench to utilize this dataset which contains survey data, EMR data, genomic sequencing, physical measurements, and digital health data. The Indiana CTSI is part of a consortium of CTSAs to assist researchers in utilizing the All of Us data.
