April 17: 'All of Us' for the future of inclusive research and healthcare

People from historically marginalized backgrounds have been excluded from or significantly underrepresented in research studies for decades, resulting in incomplete data collection, inadequate clinical guidelines and worse health outcomes. To address this problem, the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program is working toward creating one of the most diverse health databases in history. In observance of National Minority Health Month, the 91ÑÇÉ«´«Ã½ Maximizing Access Committee will host this webinar featuring the work of two BMB researchers who are using the All of Us Research Program to do their work. This event will highlight the importance of including populations from historically marginalized backgrounds in research. Register.
