Access Tiers
There are three tiers of data. Your access to these tiers depends on the Data Use Registration Agreement (DURA) your institution has with the All of Us Research Program. You can check your institution’s access level online.
Learn more about the tiers in this video and this slide deck.
The Public Tier
The Public Tier data contain only aggregate data with identifiers removed and are available using Data Snapshots and the Data Browser. This tier is available regardless of registration status.
The Registered Tier
The Registered Tier data contain individual level data from EHRs, wearables, and surveys, as well as physical measurements taken at the time of participant enrollment.
The Controlled Tier
In addition to the data in the Registered Tier, the Controlled Tier dataset contains genomic data in the form of whole genome sequencing (WGS) and genotyping arrays, previously suppressed demographic data fields from EHRs and surveys, and unshifted dates of events.
Verify your identity using Login.gov or ID.me. You may need to provide an SSN and a state-issued ID. These are secure services used by participating government agencies.
Researchers who live in the United States, have a social security number (SSN), and have a valid U.S. government-issued ID (e.g., U.S. territory- or state-issued ID) can use login.gov for identity verification. Otherwise, you must use ID.me.

This mandatory training, the Responsible Conduct of Research Training provides education on conducting responsible and ethical research with data from All of Us participants.
The Data User Code of Conduct is an agreement that outlines the program’s expectations for researchers.
A preview of the agreement is available online.
The Researcher Workbench
The Researcher Workbench is a cloud-based platform where registered researchers can access Registered and Controlled Tier data.
Data are curated into three datasets and are available for researchers through the All of Us Research Hub and All of Us Researcher Workbench.
All of Us Program - Researcher Workbench tutorial video
Uses: Organizing research projects, collaboration
Registered researchers use workspaces to access, store, and analyze data for specific research projects. Workspaces are collaborative and can be shared among other registered researchers within a project team.
Uses: Analysis, queries
Researchers with R or Python experience can perform high-powered queries and analyses within the All of Us datasets using our integrated cloud-based analysis tools, including Jupyter Notebook and RStudio.
Uses: Pre-populated analysis, dataset previews
The Dataset Builder allows researchers to search and save collections of health information about cohorts, called concept sets. Researchers can search and save concepts from a particular domain and use them in the Dataset Builder.
Uses: Cohort creation
The Cohort Builder is a custom, point-and-click tool that allows researchers to create, review, and annotate groups of participant data, or cohorts, within the All of Us dataset.
Uses: Learning, support, guides
The User Support Hub contains a variety of resources that demonstrate how to use our tools and navigate the data within the Researcher Workbench. Training materials, FAQs, video tutorials, guides, and a designated help desk are available to assist researchers in their Workbench activities.
