An Overview of the All of Us Researcher Workbench and the Role of the Library
Campus libraries are well situated to respond to the needs of academic institutions for data-driven research; provide access to a diverse, longitudinal dataset; utilize training materials to assist campus communities. The All of Us Research Hub houses one of the largest, most diverse, and most broadly accessible datasets ever assembled. Built in partnership with participants spanning different ages, races, ethnicities, and regions of the country, it currently includes physical measurements, surveys, wearables, electronic health records, and genomics. Learn about the participants, explore the data offered, learn how to become a registered user, and discover why this data is of value to your academic libraries and campus communities.
