All of Us Pennsylvania Research Program: Now Open to Children
STUDY BASICS
Adult participants in the All of Us Research Program, are now eligible to enroll your child. Together, you and your child can help us build one of the largest, most diverse health data resources in history.
STUDY PURPOSE
Children have not always been included in research. When children participate in All of Us, they can help researchers understand how children change and develop over time. Researchers can study what makes children sick or keeps them healthy, and how early experiences can affect health across a lifetime. What researchers learn may help improve the health of children and adults in the future.
COULD THIS STUDY BE RIGHT FOR YOUR CHILD?
- Are four years old or younger.
- Have at least one parent/legal guardian who is an All of Us participant.
- Live in the United States or a U.S. territory.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT
As a parent or legal guardian, you can choose how much or how little your child participates in All of Us.
- You can share your child’s electronic health records.
- You can answer health surveys about your child.
- You may be invited to bring your child to an in-person appointment that will last a few hours.

Steven Reis
Steven E. Reis, MD, is associate vice chancellor for clinical research, health sciences, and Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine, as well as founding director of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) at the University of Pittsburgh. CTSI fosters collaborative research that advances new medical therapies and technologies in clinical care and ensures greater access to clinical trials for patients and the public. A practicing cardiologist and researcher, Dr. Reis’ scientific interests include heart disease in women and minorities, microvascular angina, endothelial function, and cardiovascular risk. As a former volunteer firefighter, Dr. Reis also has a special interest in studying heart health in firefighters, a group prone to heart disease due to firefighting’s combination of heat, exertion, and dehydration. He and other researchers have explored methods and technologies to regulate body temperature and reduce inflammation and cardiovascular strain on active firefighters. Dr. Reis received his BS from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his MD from Harvard Medical School. He completed a residency in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a cardiovascular fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
