Ariel Yardeni

Ariel serves as the Consortium Communications Manager for the All of Us Research Program at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In her role, she is responsible for ensuring that the program's 100+ partner organizations have the necessary tools and resources to effectively communicate the value of participating in biomedical research. Currently, the All of Us Research Program is open to eligible adults aged 18 and above. However, Ariel is part of a group that supports future enrollment and retention of pediatric and adolescent participants, with a focus on reflecting the diversity of the United States. 

The All of Us Research Program, led by the National Institutes of Health, aims to engage at least one million individuals from across the United States to contribute to one of the most diverse health databases ever created. Researchers use the data collected to investigate how factors such as biology, lifestyle, and environment impact health, with the ultimate goal of advancing disease prevention and treatment. As of May 2023, the program has achieved significant progress, with over 600,000 participants who have shared more than 450,000 bio samples and 370,000 electronic health records.
