AYLUS Morrisville/Cary branch participated in a youth advocacy program to promote “All of Us” NIH research funded by Congress. This Research Program is inviting one million people across the U.S. to help build one of the most diverse health databases in history. Our volunteers received training (no service hour) from branch advisor on precision medicine research’s importance and Asian American participation. Six branch members participated this project. They educated total of 75 adult Asian Americans through videos and slides.
We are very proud to be part of this ambitious effort which gather health data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research that may improve health.
Volunteers are: Lucy Zhao (6 hours), Emma Wang (5 hours), Kenna Zhang (1 hour), Alison Lee (1 hour), Claire Zhong (3.5 hours), Shawn Ye (4 hours).
