The U.S. government is now accepting volunteers for a huge new nationwide health project. The government hopes to find one million people who will share their DNA and 10 years of health patterns. Researchers hope that by studying such a large group of people, they can learn why some people escape illness and others do not. They also hope to find better ways to prevent and treat diseases. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is organizing the project. It is called the All of Us Research Program. Dr. Francis Collins is director of the NIH. He describes the program as a national adventure that is going to transform medical care. Congress has approved $1.45 billion for the project over the next 10 years.
