NNLM All of Us Program Center

The proposed “Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) All of Us Program Center (NAPC)” will leverage a multi-year history of productive collaboration between two primary institutions, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Iowa, to employ an enhanced “team science” approach to address the

community engagement, training, and education needs of the NNLM All of Us Program. The NAPC serves a critical role in coordinating engagement, programs, partnerships, activities, and training offered by NNLM in support of the NIH All of Us Research Program. NAPC will develop and distribute a robust portfolio of

community-based programs and services, create opportunities for national and regional engagement, and build relationships within NNLM and the All of Us Ecosystem. In doing so NAPC ensures that NNLM members can build capacity to improve health, digital, and research literacy in their communities, and that individuals,

particularly populations underrepresented in biomedical research (UBR), will have access to the knowledge, resources, and skills necessary to understand precision medicine and participate in All of Us. As previous NNLM All of Us pilot program awardees, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Iowa

bring a unique understanding of the complexity of the program, quality and experienced personnel, and existing professional relationships with NNLM, the All of Us Ecosystem, public libraries, and community organizations. Together, these two institutions will create a dynamic and collaborative research environment,

provide high-quality innovative program deliverables, and implement innovative workflows, mechanisms, and initiatives to grow the NNLM All of Us Program. The NAPC will continue to build on the work of the NNLM All of Us pilot by using data-informed methods and tools to identify new opportunities to reach diverse communities

and organizations with little previous engagement. We will increase capacity, programming, and engagement opportunities around health, digital, and research literacy. We will continue to assess and support the training and education needs of the All of Us consortium and advance the science of engagement, community-based

participatory research, and human-centered design through training, publications, presentations, and other modes of dissemination so that others can incorporate NAPC best practices into their training and community engagement programs. The NAPC has three overarching aims to accomplish the goals of the NNLM All of Us Program:

1. Increase All of Us learning options for a wide variety of audiences in cooperation with community partners, NNLM, the All of Us Consortium Training Board, and the All of Us Ecosystem. 2. Raise awareness of and interest in All of Us. 3. Build capacity to improve the public’s knowledge, resources, and skills to make informed decisions about

health, contribute to research, and engage with digital health information and research.
