On May 24, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) and Boston Public Library 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.
Boston is one stop on the All of Us Journey’s national tour. The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) and Boston Public Library invite 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 National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) and Boston Public Library invite the Boston community to visit the All of Us Journey and learn how you can help change the future of health.
WHEN
Friday, May 24
11am – 3pm
WHERE
Central Library in Copley Square
700 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116
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 NATIONAL NETWORK OF LIBRARIES OF MEDICINE
The mission of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) is to advance the progress of medicine and improve the public health by providing all U.S. health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving the public's access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health.
