Lead All of Us Consortium Training
(ACT) Board to prioritize national Consortium training development, piloting, launch and evaluation.
The NNLM All of Us Program Center (NAPC) is a team science, Co-PI, funded center which coordinates engagement and training activities offered by the National Network of the Library of Medicine (NNLM) in support of the NIH All of Us Research Program (AoU), a large, multi-faceted research initiative seeking to collect biomedical data from one million people across the US, to support precision medicine and diversify the data available for biomedical research.
There are two functional areas within the NNLM All of Us Program: Training and Engagement. Training is housed at HSLS, and together with the University of Iowa Hardin Library for the Health Sciences supporting engagement, we coordinate our efforts to ensure adequate support for infrastructure and technology, program development, communications, and evaluation and reporting. Due to All of Us funding constraints, the engagement work of the NAPC will be sunset in April 2025.
NAPC-Pitt develops trainings in support of the All of Us Consortium to assist staff in understanding and performing their roles effectively, and it develops learning activities and other assets to help public libraries, community-based organizations and the public build knowledge, resources and skills related to health, digital and research literacy, precision medicine, and diversity in biomedical research.
Other NIH Funding
HSLS faculty had percent effort on the following NIH projects:
- MIDAS Coordination Center, NIH #5U24GM132013-03, which provides a research and training hub for infectious disease modelers across the globe.
- HUD Technical Assistance: This project is supported by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (PAHHU0071-22).
Our HSLS molecular biology team assisted health sciences faculty members in generating data for NIH grant applications, including single-cell transcriptomic analysis and All of Us data for gene studies on caries and coronary artery disease.
