Can a personalized diet help improve health and prevent chronic diseases?
The Nutrition for Precision Health study is trying to answer this question by studying how individual people respond to different foods. Nutrition for Precision Health is a partner of the All of Us Research Program. This is a large effort to speed up health research.

The Nutrition for Precision Health study is trying to answer this question by studying how individual people respond to different foods. Nutrition for Precision Health is a partner of the All of Us Research Program. This is a large effort to speed up health research.
What is the study researching?
Nutrition, or the foods we eat, can help prevent and fight conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and cancer.
But we all live in different environments and come from different cultures. Each of us is starting from a different place with our health. And everyone breaks down food differently.
The Nutrition for Precision Health study is researching how nutrition can be tailored to each person’s genes, culture, and environment to improve health.
Who can join?
We plan to enroll 8,000 people from different backgrounds in the Nutrition for Precision Health study. Participants must be 18 years or older, speak English or Spanish, live near one of the study sites, and be enrolled in our partner program, the All of Us Research Program. Learn more about the All of Us Research Program at JoinAllofUs.org.
Research staff will work with people who are interested to see if the Nutrition for Precision Health study is a good fit for them. Research staff will talk with each person about their medical background and the study activities.
What would I do in the study?
If you choose to join the study, your participation will last about two weeks and include several steps:
Study participants will be compensated up to $300 for time spent completing study activities.
After completing this study, you may be invited to take part in a follow-up study. In it, you would be eating three different diets provided by the study, each over two weeks. This follow-up study would require more of your time and include extra compensation.
Get Involved
We need help from people like you to learn how different people respond to different foods. These insights may pave the way for more tailored diets in the future. This could help people lead healthier lives.
