In 2006, a similar project by the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute known as "The American project" was proposed. In 2015 the US National Institutes of Health launched the "Precision Medicine Initiative" which was renamed "All of Us" in 2016. This project had enrolled over 10,000 people by January 2018 in a pilot phase with an aim to sign up one million participants by 2022. As of February 2021 the program has enrolled 369,000 participants with 235,000 Electronic Health Records and 280,000 biosamples.
