The All of Us Research Program seeks to recruit a diverse group of at least one million participants across the United States.

The program emphasizes the significance of community involvement in health research, encouraging individuals to contribute to a collective effort that could transform health outcomes for future generations. As the All of Us Journey travels across the nation, it aims to foster awareness and participation in health research, ultimately striving to improve health equity and outcomes for all individuals. The upcoming events in Iowa represent a crucial step in this nationwide effort to engage communities and promote the importance of health research participation.
