Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Individuals aged 21 and older who may participate in All of Us or contribute biospecimens as part of the program.
✕Less likely to help
Participants who choose not to participate or who are unable to contribute biospecimens may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This grant supports Mayo Clinic’s role in continuing and expanding biobanking activities for the All of Us program, including collecting, processing, storing, and distributing biospecimens. It ensures high-quality biospecimen handling and access to resources that researchers nationwide can use to study health and disease in diverse populations. Participants’ contributions help build a representative national dataset that could inform future medical care and prevention for many conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could accelerate discoveries in precision medicine by providing researchers with robust, well-managed biospecimens and data from a diverse U.S. population.
How similar studies have gone: Previous All of Us efforts have accumulated a large repository of biospecimens and data, demonstrating the feasibility and value of such resources.
