Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
People who are part of the All of Us program or who represent communities engaged by the program, including children and members of tribal communities.

What this research studies
This grant supports developing and evaluating digital engagement solutions and educational resources to keep participants involved in the All of Us program. It includes building tools such as digital decision aids, web-based activities, and continuing education for healthcare providers and communities. The work emphasizes pediatric and tribal engagement, partnerships with pediatric-serving organizations, and a dedicated Indigenous Researcher Working Group to ensure inclusive participation. The team also runs the All of Us Researcher Academy to train researchers and provide ongoing support for engagement activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Better participant retention and more meaningful involvement of diverse communities could lead to higher-quality data and findings that reflect all U.S. populations.
How similar studies have gone: Similar engagement and retention efforts in large longitudinal studies have shown that well-designed digital tools and community partnerships improve participation.
