IRHR works to bring the highest attainable standard of health to rural citizens by collaborating wit CME credit is available to all participants.

Established in 2001, the Institute for Rural Health Research works to bring the highest attainable standard of health to rural citizens. The Institute pursues this mission through the combined strength of scientific knowledge, community involvement and informed public policy. The Institute’s research efforts are focused on health issues that impact people who live in rural areas. The goal is to produce research that is useful to communities, policymakers and health care providers as they work to improve the availability, accessibility and quality of health care for rural and underserved citizens. The Institute also serves as a resource for researchers, individuals and organizations working to improve the health of rural communities. Annually the Institute for Rural Health Research at The University of Alabama College of Community Health Sciences, the Rural Health Conference centers around health care issues relevant to rural communities. Each year, the conference provides a platform for health care professionals, community leaders, researchers, government officials and representatives of faith-based organizations who come together to hear from prominent speakers and to share critical information and knowledge about the health disparities that impact rural Alabama.

Starting June 28, 2024, The University of Alabama will stop enrolling new All of Us participants and collecting biosamples such as blood, urine, or saliva in-person. New participants can still join online at JoinAllofUs.org. New participants can provide saliva samples from home by mail, if asked, and can also provide blood through Quest, if available.

The All of Us Research Program will continue after this change. There will be no change to your participant status. University of Alabama at Birmingham will continue to provide support for current All of Us participants in Birmingham, AL as they complete new surveys or other activities.

By remaining an active All of Us participant, your health information is helping researchers learn more about health and disease. Scientists are already making discoveries about conditions like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and depression—to name just a few. Participating in All of Us is always free and always optional. You can leave the program at any time.

Please know we value your partnership and your many contributions to the All of Us Research Program. We are deeply grateful for all you have done to support the program. As we navigate these changes, we will keep you informed about any updates.

If you are a current participant and have further questions, please feel free to contact our office number at (205) 348-6991 or email us directly at allofus@ua.edu. Our office will be open past June 28, 2024.
