Researchers’ resource: All of Us Research Hub

UT Health San Antonio is a member of the All of Us Research Hub, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. This valuable resourcematches a broad research community with a diverse set of research participants. Its goal is to advance precision medicine research and fuel new insights into human health. The Research Hub houses one of the largest, most diverse and most broadly accessible datasets ever assembled. It also provides an interactive Data Browser where anyone can learn about the type and quantity of data that All of Us collects. 

 

Users can explore aggregate data, including survey responses, physical measurements, electronic health record information and wearables data. Through an executed Data Use and Registration Agreement, UT Health San Antonio researchers can access All of Us data and tools to conduct studies to help improve understanding of human health.  All of Us will launch the Controlled Tier component of their database in the first quarter of next year.

 

Visit the Research Hub to:

  • Use the interactive Data Browser. The All of Us Research Program announced the beta release of the Data Browser in May 2019 to provide a first look at the data that participants are sharing for health research.
  • View Data Snapshots. Updated regularly, these snapshots provide visualizations of participant demographics, geographic distribution, and more.
  • Read about All of Us data sources and methods of data curation.
  • Find information about privacy and security processes that help keep participant data safe.
