\u201cI think that what\u2019s unique and important about the All of Us<\/i> Research Program is that there are treatments and medications that don\u2019t work for everyone. And this program is really trying to find out why. They\u2019re looking into lifestyle, your environment, your genetics, to get that answer, and I think that\u2019s important.<\/p>\n
I wanted to be part of this program and be involved because I believe it\u2019s important that research reflects the experiences of everyone in our community. And I\u2019m glad this program shares that value.<\/p>\n
I would say to anyone who has reservations about joining that you could possibly be a part of medical breakthroughs in the future. Why would you not want to be a part of that?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m Shantelle, and I joined for all of us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD\u00ae) is proud to partner with NIH and the All of Us<\/i> Research Program to help encourage people from all communities to join so researchers will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights into their health and possibly discover valuable and life-changing treatments, leading to a healthier future.<\/p>\n
