Illinois All of Us Precision Health Network
The Illinois Precision Medicine Consortium (IPMC) All of Us Research Program Site
This program invites people across Illinois to share their health information so researchers can build a diverse database to improve personalized care.

What this research studies
If I join, I'll be asked to share my health records, answer surveys, and may be invited to give a small biosample so my data can help health research. The Illinois network brings together hospitals and community groups across Chicago and the state to reach people from many backgrounds. The team uses consistent procedures and community outreach to enroll participants and keep data and samples available for approved research. Their goal is to create a long-term resource that researchers can use to learn how treatments and risks differ across people.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults living in Chicago and elsewhere in Illinois, including people from groups often underrepresented in research, who are willing to share health records and biospecimens are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People looking for immediate clinical treatment or direct short-term therapeutic benefit are unlikely to gain personal medical improvements from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could speed discoveries that lead to more tailored prevention, diagnosis, and treatments for diverse communities.
How similar studies have performed: Large population cohorts like the UK Biobank have produced important discoveries, and this Illinois effort applies that model with a U.S. focus on diversity.
