Here in Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh was awarded a grant for $4.2 million for the first year, with a potential for up to $67 million over five years to build the infrastructure needed to launch the program. The University’s program, All of Us Pennsylvania, plans to enroll 120,000 patients in the region. So far, All of Us Pennsylvania has enrolled 8,000 participants so far.
