This individual will develop partnerships with libraries, museums, federally qualified health centers, academic health centers and their clinics, high school teachers, and community organizations. A major focus for this position will be on identifying and supporting partners in using and evaluating educational materials the GSLC has developed for the National Institute of Health's All of Us Research Program.
The NIH All of UsResearch Program is a historic effort to recruit 1 million or more individuals to participate as partners in one of the world's largest and most diverse health databases, with a goal of making health research more equitable.

They also will support preparation of grant proposals.
