The mission of the NNLM is to provide U.S. health professionals, researchers, public health workforce, educators, and the public with equal access to biomedical and health information resources and data. NNLMs main goals are to work through libraries and other members to support a highly-trained workforce for biomedical and health information resources and data, improve health literacy, and increase health equity through information. The NNLM All of Us National Program Center (NAPC) will serve as the coordinating center and be responsible for the engagement, programs, partnerships, activities, and training offered by NNLM in support of the NIH All of Us Research Program.
