As a new outreach and partnership opportunity, NNLM would like to invite you to engage with the All of Us Journey. The All of Us Journey is a hands-on experience to build awareness and excitement about the All of Us Research Program, supported by the National Institutes of Health. Through a 41-week national tour, this traveling exhibit actively engages community members to join this landmark research project that will accelerate research and improve health.

The All of Us Journey will be visiting the Middle Atlantic Region on the following dates:

• 4/15- 4/21 Philadelphia, PA
• 4/22- 4/28 Philadelphia, PA
• 4/29 – 5/5 New Brunswick & Newark, NJ
• 5/27 – 6/ 2 Harrisburg, PA

*Please note that all dates are tentative

Your organization can volunteer to host an All of Us Journey event or in conjunction to an existing event, which will connect your community with the interactive health stations and an opportunity to learn more and ask questions about the All of Us Research Program. Event request form are required to be submitted 60-90 days before the All of Us Journey is scheduled to come to your area.

How does hosting the All of Us Journey benefit my community?

• Educates community members about the All of Us Research Program and its benefits for people, families, communities, and future generations
• Provides an opportunity for hands-on exploration and engagement and to ask questions
• Gives your community the opportunity to actively participate in a program that seeks to improve the health of all Americans regardless of their sex, gender, race/ethnicity, religion, insurance status, address, income, or other unique traits

Funding may be available for NNLM Members to host All of Us Journey events. If you are interested in hosting the journey, volunteering, or would like more information about this opportunity, please contact NNLM MAR All of Us Community Engagement Coordinator Veronica Leigh Milliner at VLM38@pitt.edu.
