All of Us (AoU) Research Program - NIH

How to Gain Access

San Jose State University has signed a Data Use and Registration Agreement (DURA) with the All of Us Research Program, allowing SJSU researchers (including faculty and students) to apply for Registered and Controlled Tier access. 

In order to access the Researcher Workbench Registered and Controlled Tiers, users will need to create a Researcher Workbench account online. Steps are as follows: 

  1. Sign up to use the Workbench (make an @researchallofus.org account)
  2. Verify identity with login.gov. or ID.me. For issues with this step, please contact support@researchallofus.org (there can be issues even when info is input correctly). You may need to provide an SSN and a state-issued ID. These are secure services used by participating government agencies. Researchers who live in the United States, have a social security number (SSN), and have a valid U.S. government-issued ID (e.g., U.S. territory- or state-issued ID, driving license) can use login.gov for identity verification. Otherwise, you must use ID.me. This article provide more information on this step.
  3. Login to Researcher Workbench
  4. Complete the mandatory training. The Responsible Conduct of Research Training provides education on conducting responsible and ethical research with data from All of Us participants. SJSU users must complete relevant training in the Workbench profiles to access registered and controlled tiers data.
  5. Sign the Data User Code of Conduct. The Data User Code of Conduct is an agreement that outlines the program’s expectations for researchers. A preview of the agreement is available online.
