NIH’s All of Us Research Program Releases New COVID-19 Data

Now Available: All of Us Research Program Expands Dataset to Fuel New Discoveries

The National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program has announced a significant increase in the COVID-19 data available in its precision medicine database, adding survey responses from more than 37,000 additional participants, and virus-related diagnosis and treatment data from the nearly 215,000 participant electronic health records (EHRs) that are currently available. The program has also expanded its collection of wearable data to now include 11,670 paired participant Fitbit records, a 42% increase from its last update, making this one of the largest publicly-available sets of digital health technology data available.

Researchers interested in exploring the data and conducting analyses can apply for access after their institutions have signed a data use agreement with the program. At this time, any U.S.-based academic, nonprofit, or health care organization can enter into a data use agreement with the program.

The program anticipates releasing the first set of genomic data in the next refresh, anticipated this winter.
