The cost of ImpreciseMedicine Patients Providers Researchers Health care is often targeted to the average patient, not the individual Health problems can take years to unravel, with significant trial anderror Not enough research todraw on for clinical evidence, especially in diverse populations Medical records scattered in differentplaces Not enough time for analysis one patient at atime Enormous time and cost spent building IT systems vs. doing research Siloed data resources and funding opportunities Challenges acquiring large sample sizes Slow translation of datainto knowledge ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ 3

All of Us Research Program – A New Initiative Gets a NewMechanism Portfolio 19 OtherTransaction (OT) Awards HPOs, Community EngagementPartners, Comms, Outreach, & GenomeCenters 6
Other TransactionsAuthority ⦿ The Other Transactions (OT) award mechanism is not a grant, cooperative agreement orcontract. ⦿ Only a few NIH Institutes/Centers have thisauthority. ⦿ For the All of Us Research Program, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) manages the OT awards, NHLBI manages the Cooperative agreements ⦿ All applicants (PI, AOR, Project Team) should read and be familiar with the Other Transaction Award Policy Guide for NIH Precision Medicine Initiative Research Programs. (The NIH Grants Policy Statement and the FAR does not apply to OT awards.) ⦿ OT allows NIH the flexibility to alter the course of projects in real-time to meet the overarchingprogrammaticgoal. This means awarded activity can be expanded, modified, partnered, not supported, or later discontinued based on programneeds. ⦿ If selected for award, applicants should expect significant ongoing involvement from NIH. 7

What is the promise forparticipants? An opportunity to help fight disease and improve the health of futuregenerations. A chance to learn about your own health, including personalized risk factors or exposures. The ability and choice to access your own data, including increasingly rich healthrecords. An opportunity to ensure that your community is included in the studies that lead to new understanding and new treatments. A chance to learn about additionalresearch opportunities that may interestyou. The choice to meet others like you, perhaps even joining some of them to propose & do research. ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ 17 This is a long-term relationship and the value to participants (and researchers) will grow overtime.

What is the Promise for Researchers:researchallofus.org The opportunity to save time and resources and accelerate your research breakthroughs byleveraging: ⦿ A rich resource of data, including biospecimens and increasingly robust electronic healthrecords. A longitudinal dataset that will follow participants as theymove, age, develop relationships, get sick, and trytreatments. A diverse cohort of participants, including people bothhealthy and sick, from all walks of life and all parts of thecountry. Both raw data and data that is already cleaned and curated. Robust computing and analytic tools to support complex data analyses in a secure dataenvironment. A group of engaged participants who may be eager toparticipate in ancillarystudies. 19 We are collecting, evaluating, and curating initial datasets; availability in2019
Data Access | Principles andFramework Data available to all types of users ⦿ Employ a secured, cloud-based, analysis platform (no dataremoval), ⦿ Access will betiered ⦿ Users will be granted datapassports ⦿ Project information will be made public andauditable ⦿ Controlleddata individual-level health dataand genetics 20
Approach to Privacy andSecurity Data warehouse built with the most advanced securityavailable ⦿ Continuous rigorous security testing (HackerOne, Bug Bashes, 3rd Party Penetration Testing,etc) ⦿ Data is encrypted and personal identifiersremoved ⦿ Committed to transparency in the event of a data breach ⦿ Researchers must go through identity proofing, ethics training, agree to a code ofconduct ⦿ Protected by a Certificate ofConfidentiality ⦿ 21

Grand Challenges & Opportunities for all ofus… Risk Populations – Need prevalent, incident, and pre-onset age groups (precursors, EHR, medications, lifestyles, demographics,etc); Participants from existing cohorts can -- and are-- invited toparticipate ⦿ Access to data -- and translating the findings to knowledge that can betested EHR - Syntactic harmonization – driving towards the use of the same schema to represent the same values (e.g. cognitive tests, brainscans). We're leaning heavily on existing standards and vocabularies; with someheterogeneity EHR - Semanticharmonization-- ability to compare values across sources (e.g. reference ranges, medication names, prescribing and codinghabits). This will be a long and ongoing challenge, need lots of data in place and ready for analysis Use what we learn to feed back into thesystem ⦿ ⦿ ⦿ 23 GrandOpportunity: moving from observing outcomes, to predicting them and then changingthem
