Fauci signs treaty for world vaccination plan

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, director-general of the World Health Organization, visited NIH on Apr. 20, when he met NIH leadership at Stone House. Known widely as Tedros, he participated in a group discussion (above) with NIH senior leadership and the institute and center directors. Later, in the Stone House library, he signed a memorandum of understanding between NIAID and WHO to enhance future collaborations on research activities conducted in response to emerging infectious disease outbreaks and public health emergencies. The MOU includes the intent to establish an NIAID-WHO Collaborating Center for Emerging Infectious Disease Response Research and Preparedness.

Exactly 2 months shy of the second anniversary of its founding on July 6, 2016, the All of Us Research Program (formerly known as the Precision Medicine Initiative Cohort Program) opened enrollment nationwide on May 6. The event was marked by community events in seven cities across the country.

The program intends to partner with 1 million or more people across the United States who will share information over time to help build the world’s largest and most diverse data resources for health research. Initially, enrollees will have to be 18 or older, but the program hopes to begin accepting children in summer 2019.
