The All of Us Research Journey made its way to Gainesville on Sept. 21-22 to help kick off the area’s community enrollment campaign for the All of Us research program. The UF coordinating center will enroll more than 4,000 participants per year for the next five years as part of the program’s regional SouthEast Enrollment Center (SEEC), led by the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. UF will also serve as the data coordinating center for SEEC.
