All of Us (initiative)

All of Us (previously known as the Precision Medicine Initiative) is a research project created in 2015 during the tenure of Barack Obama with $215 million in funding that aimed to make advances in tailoring medical care to the individual.[1] The project aimed to collect genetic and health data from one million subjects.[2] The initiative was announced during the 2015 State of the Union Address,[3] was run by the National Institutes of Health and was advised by Verily Life Sciences.[4] Congress has authorized $1.45 billion for the project.[5] In October 2016, the project was renamed "All of Us".[6][7][8] By January 2018 an initial pilot project had enrolled about 10,000 people and 2022 was targeted for one million people.[9]

Professor Kenneth Weiss from Pennsylvania State University, in a skeptical review of this project in 2017, suggested that the funding could be better spent elsewhere.[10]
