The expected number of participants in the cohort is shown for each time period. The number of plus signs in each cell indicates the anticipated relative degree to which each goal may be accomplished during the estimated timeline for focused research.

Demonstration projects are scientific studies implemented by the All of Us program to show the quality, usefulness, validity, and diversity of the All of Us research data set and platform. In these projects, the population and data are further characterized, and the data are evaluated with a view to determining whether known associations can be replicated.
