Host the ‘All of Us’ Health Research Journey

Aug 15, 2018

The All of Us Journey, a National Institutes of Health project related to the All of Us Research Program, is looking for organizations that are interested in hosting it as well as volunteers willing to assist when it comes to the Cheyenne and surrounding areas between September 24 to October 7.

The All of Us Research Program aims to sign up a million or more people, mostly from groups underrepresented in biomedical research, to provide their health information in order to improve diversity in health research. The All of Us Journey is a hands-on experience to build awareness and excitement about the All of Us Research Program. Through a 41-week national tour, this traveling exhibit actively engages community members to join this landmark research project that will accelerate research and improve health.

The Journey can make visits to events and venues within 2-3 hours of Cheyenne between September 24 and October 7. If your library or other organization is interested in hosting the Journey or would like to exhibit at an already-scheduled Journey event, contact George Strawley at george.strawley@utah.edu or (801) 581-5242.
