All of Us Research Program: Eric Dishman

Eric Dishman, director of the National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program, will step down from the role and serve as the program's chief innovation officer. In his new role, Dishman will drive the "strategic and user-centered development of new program features." Dishman, a cancer survivor, said this change would allow him to focus on his long-term health and direct his energies toward patient advocacy activities. The shift in leadership also marks an evolution for the All of Us program "from a startup to a more established organization," he noted. A nationwide search for a new director and CEO of the population health research effort will begin this week.
