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.
