The All of Us Research Program (All of Us) within the Office of the Director (OD) encourages investigators to apply for grant awards that will advance research in high-priority mission areas of the Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) through two companion FOAs (1) one to use standard methods and approaches to analyze currently available data within the All of Us Research Program’s Researcher Workbench and (2) one to develop new methods, models, and tools and use them to analyze data in the Researcher Workbench. The new tools will be made broadly available to the scientific community.

Purpose
This FOA uses the R03 grant mechanism to advance research in high-priority mission areas of the NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) through analysis of currently available data within the All of Us Research Program’s Researcher Workbench using well accepted analytical tools and methods.
There is a companion FOA (R21; link) for applications to advance research in high-priority mission areas of the NIH ICOs by developing new methods, models, and tools and using them to analyze data in the Researcher Workbench. The new tools will be made broadly available to the scientific community.
Research Objectives and Scope
- Studies are encouraged that can help advance research in high priority mission areas of the NIH ICOs. The R03 award supports projects that use widely accepted approaches and methods.
- Applications that develop new analytical tools and methods and apply them to investigations using the data in the All of Us Researcher Workbench should be directed to the companion R21 FOA.
- Applications must make direct use of All of Us data that are available through the Researcher Workbench. Applicants may analyze the All of Us data in combination with other existing datasets, but for the purpose of this administrative supplement program, they should not propose ancillary studies that would require the collection of additional data beyond what is already available in the Researcher Workbench or studies that would require a linkage of All of Us data to other datasets at the level of the individual.
- Because information regarding the user experience could help NIH improve its data resources, it is expected that NIH will receive feedback from awardees on usability and utility of datasets and public data portals, which the awardees can provide in their progress reports to ICO Program Officers.
- Applicants will be expected to make their workspace, and any tools they develop, available to other registered users of the All of Us Researcher Workbench.
- Applicants may request funds, in addition to research costs, to present their work using All of Us data at a national meeting and/or All of Us Researchers Convention.
Funding Information
- The combined budget for the two-year project period may not exceed $200,000 in direct costs. No more than $140,000 in direct costs may be requested in any single year.
- The total project period may not exceed two years.
