The National Institutes of Health recently completed the first phase of a website serving as a research hub for the agency's flagship precision medicine program, the Politico Morning eHealth newsletter reports.
The All of Us Research Program, part of the NIH's precision medicine initiative, aims to engage more than 1 million participants in sharing biological samples, genetic data and lifestyle information. The NIH's long-term vision for the program, which launched nationwide in May, is to serve as a national resource to inform future precision medicine studies.
The website will outline the data and tools the NIH plans to use for the All of Us Research Project, according to Politico. So far, the website lays out the program's research protocol and approach to privacy, among other information.
In late 2018, the NIH will beta test a data browser to enable users to view information about the program's research participants.
