On August 11, the Delta Research & Educational Foundation will host the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Journey, a traveling, hands-on exhibit to raise awareness about the All of Us Research Program. All of Us aims to speed up health research and medical breakthroughs. To do so, All of Us is asking 1 million volunteers to share different types of health and lifestyle information – information like where you live, what you do, and your family health history.

Philadelphia is one stop on the All of Us Journey’s national tour. The Delta Research & Educational Foundation invites you to attend this event to learn more about the All of Us Research Program and how it could enable research to more precisely prevent and treat a variety of health conditions.


WHAT
The Delta Research & Educational Foundation invites the Philadelphia community to visit the All of Us Journey and learn how you can help change the future of health.


WHEN
Saturday, August 11
12pm – 6pm


WHERE
Malcom X Park
5100 Pine St. (52nd and Pine)
Philadelphia PA 19143


WHY
Unlike a single research study focused on a specific disease or community, the All of Us Research Program will create a research resource to inform thousands of studies, covering a wide range of health conditions. This information could help researchers better understand health differences and improve health for generations to come.


ABOUT THE DELTA RESEARCH & EDUCATION FOUNDATION
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. established the Delta Research and Educational Foundation (DREF) as a public charity supporting scholastic achievement, public service programs, and research initiatives focused upon African American women. Today, DREF remains strong, vibrant, and poised to meet 21st century challenges with the same unwavering spirit and dedication the Sorority originally envisioned. Our charge to realize social and economic equality for future generations of African American women continues as our guiding principle.
