# NNLM All of Us Community Engagement Center Extension

> **NIH NIH UG4** · UNIVERSITY OF IOWA · 2021 · $1,712,462

## Abstract

Project Summary Statement
With expanded focus on community-engagement and partnership, the University of Iowa will continue to
serve as the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) All of Us Community Engagement
Center (CEC), serving as the single center for all NNLM engagement activities that support awareness of
and build interest in the All of Us Research Program (All of Us). The CEC will use agile principles and
community-based participatory engagement strategies to engage NNLM members, All of Us engagement
ecosystem partners, national library organizations, and NNLM Regional Medical Libraries, Offices, and
Centers (ROCs) in engagement initiatives that will provide awareness of All of Us and support the health
and well-being of individuals, families, and communities through information access.
In the year 2021-2022, CEC will use feedback from partners and evaluation data to expand and improve
our virtual engagement activities and to strengthen and renew partnerships. The CEC will collaborate
with the All of Us Training & Education Center (TEC) to develop shared statements/visions, tools, and
methodologies.
Through this approach, the CEC team will achieve two specific aims. These aims will be carried out by a
team that has expertise in libraries, community engagement, virtual programming, health literacy, digital
literacy, citizen science, cultural humility, cross-disciplinary collaboration, communications, project
management, evaluation, and needs assessment. This combination of expertise and collaboration positions
the CEC to achieve its goals over the next year to continue moving the pilot in to a full-scale program.
