TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: All of Us Research Roundup Survey

PURPOSE:

The National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to collect and study data from at least one million people from across the United States. The goal of All of Us is to speed up health research discoveries, enabling new kinds of individualized health care. To make this possible, the program is building one of the world’s largest and most diverse databases for health research. The All of Us Research Hub houses the publicly available Data Browser and the Researcher Workbench. The All of Us Research Roundup newsletter provides subscribers with All of Us news, funding opportunities, Researcher Testimonial videos, and more. Research Roundup’s intended audience is researchers with some knowledge of All of Us, but anyone who is interested may subscribe to the newsletter.

The NIH team would like to conduct a survey about Research Roundup. The survey’s goals are to assess whether we are meeting our readers’ needs and create a baseline from which we can assess the newsletter in the future.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

The survey would be sent to current Research Roundup subscribers. This likely includes a mix of researchers who have registered to use the Researcher Workbench, researchers who are interested in All of Us, and All of Us staff and consortium members.
