Healthy Americas Research Consortium (HARC)

Advancing Personalized Medicine · Building Research Capacity · Returning Value to Communities

​

The Healthy Americas Foundation (HAF) works to achieve the best health for all by increasing the number of researchers who study the health and well-being of every community, including people who have been left out of research.

​

The goal of the Healthy Americas Research Consortium (HARC) is to build a body of science that reflects all of us and to advance discovery and personalized medicine that meets the needs of each person. HARC provides seed funding, technical help, and training to researchers using the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Researcher Workbench, one of the nation’s largest and most diverse sources of health data.

​

Our reach. Since 2022, HARC has funded 67 research projects across four grant rounds. These projects involve 202 researchers at more than 40 institutions in 21 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

​

  • 2022–2023: 11 projects on cervical cancer, including people’s experiences getting Pap and HPV screening and ways to increase screening.

  • 2023–2024: 14 projects on chronic disease in Hispanic communities, including heart disease and diabetes, cancer, lung disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.

  • 2024–2025: 13 projects on chronic diseases and what causes them.

  • 2025–2026: 29 projects, our largest round yet, covering Alzheimer’s disease, mental health, chronic pain, cancer, and using genes to predict health risks. Many projects combine genetic data and data from wearable devices with AI.
