Empowering the Biomedical Research Community: Innovative SAS Deployment on the All of Us Researcher Workbench

Objectives: The All of Us Research Program is a precision medicine initiative aimed at establishing a vast, diverse biomedical database accessible through a cloud-based data analysis platform, the Researcher Workbench (RW). Our goal was to empower the research community by co-designing the implementation of SAS in the RW alongside researchers to enable broader use of All of Us data.

Materials And Methods: Researchers from various fields and with different SAS experience levels participated in co-designing the SAS implementation through user experience interviews.

Results: Feedback and lessons learned from user testing informed the final design of the SAS application.

Discussion: The co-design approach is critical for reducing technical barriers, broadening All of Us data use, and enhancing the user experience for data analysis on the RW.

Conclusion: Our co-design approach successfully tailored the implementation of the SAS application to researchers' needs. This approach may inform future software implementations on the RW.
