Emory University has recently partnered with the All of Us Research Program. All of Us is a health research program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Its goal is to help researchers better understand why people get sick or stay healthy. The mission of the All of Us Research Program is simple: to speed up health research and medical breakthroughs. To do this, All of Us is asking one million people from across the U.S. to share their health data and samples to build the one of the largest health database of its kind. Emory employees are invited to participate in this optional study. Learn more.

Do you have a software application or service idea that could enhance the Emory Community?

For CS370, Computer Science Practicum, student teams execute software development projects (planning, design, implementation, testing and deployment). We are soliciting project ideas for Fall ’18 – the more inspired and creative the idea, the more likely a team is to consider it. Popular software genres include web-based services, mobile apps, gaming, desktop applications and DevOps. Emphases on innovation, sophistication, usability and robustness typically render very usable, high-quality artifacts. If interested, contact Professor Dorian Arnold (dorian.arnold@emory.edu) with your project idea or questions as soon as possible.
