Summer 2025 Opportunity:
This year, we have a special opportunity available for Library Scholars to focus their research on learning about and utilizing the All of Us dataset. All of Us is a research program through the National Institutes of Health which is focused on ensuring that everyone is included in medical research and in helping develop more equitable approaches to care. Scholars will partner with one of the health sciences librarians to gain expertise in interacting with the dataset and will design a research project.
