Abstract

The Participant Center (TPC) will 1) maintain capabilities that enable full All of Us Research Program (All of Us) participation across the United States (US) and 2) lead innovation in the participant experience in support of program goals. TPC is an alliance of multiple partners, led by Scripps Research. TPC makes it possible for interested individuals anywhere in the U.S. to join and remain engaged in All of Us. TPC will reach individuals where they are through approaches ranging from light touch digital outreach to high touch, in-person one-on-one support. TPC strategies and tactics aim to support the recruitment of over 200,000 new baseline participants, while upholding the program’s goal to reflect broad groups from across the US. We aim to maintain at least 75% active retention, in line with TPC’s current active retention rate of 86%. Drawing on our experience in All of Us since 2016, including the recruitment of over 97,000 participants and support of biospecimen collection from over 44,000 participants, we will improve on the processes and relationships we have built to further the program’s mission to enable individualized health care. TPC will use innovative methods that accelerate progress toward program goals. Building on this innovation we aim to combine novel data collection with technology to return personalized information and improve participant health.
