All of Us: Eric Dishman’s Story
Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins
At age 19, Eric Dishman was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer. The prognosis: nine months to live. Thanks to early access to pioneering research in precision medicine, which clarified the best treatment plan for him, Eric is alive and well almost 25 years later. As you’ll learn in this video, Eric now directs NIH’s All of Us Research Program, which is enrolling 1 million or more Americans to build the foundation for the future of precision medicine.

All of Us: Importance of Diversity
Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins
Medical research hasn’t always fully represented our nation’s rich diversity. As the video above shows, NIH’s All of Us Research Program is committed to doing things differently by enrolling individuals of many different races, ethnicities, and walks of life. The more we know about what makes each person unique, the more customized health care can become.

Our men and women in uniform serve heroically to protect our freedom. While helping us, they learn to put greater good before their own personal gain. That’s why veterans have been among the first to sign up and take part in NIH’s All of Us Research Program. The video above shares a few of their stories.
If you are a veteran, thanks for your service! All of Us needs more great men and women—veterans and civilians alike—to help build the future of precision medicine.
