Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Individuals enrolled in the All of Us program or those who could contribute biospecimens or data for genomic research.
✕Less likely to help
Participants not directly engaged in genomic result reporting or who are not part of All of Us data sharing may see limited immediate personal benefit.
What this research studies
This grant supports the Broad Institute and Color Health in continuing to serve as a genome center and clinical validation lab for the All of Us program. The effort aims to provide large-scale, cost-effective genomic data and new data types to the scientific community, while also pursuing pilot projects that could map how exposures relate to disease markers over time. The work emphasizes partnerships, data sharing, and streamlined reporting to participants and researchers. By building on decades of genomic experience and existing return of clinical results, it seeks to accelerate discoveries that could translate into personalized care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Patients could benefit from faster access to personalized risk assessments and improved understanding of how genomic information informs diagnosis and treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Previous large-scale genomic centers and return-of-result programs have shown scalable data generation and clinically actionable findings for many participants.
