The NNLM All of Us Program Center (NAPC) works with public libraries to help communities participate in biomedical research, like the All of Us Research Program, and to support the health information needs of their communities.
We support All of Us to engage those interested in becoming a participant and to provide value for those who are currently participating in the program.
We offer something for every public library, including training, funding, connections, and amazing resources:
