July 2025 Product Release Notes

The following release notes cover the most recent changes over the last few months. If you have any questions, email the All of Us Researcher Workbench support team at support@researchallofus.org.

All of Us Researcher Workbench features and updates

• Google Batch API migration - To keep tools updated with the latest improvements from Google Cloud Platform, we migrated our workflow tools from Google Cloud Life Sciences API (GLS) to Google Batch. Applicable updates were made to our workflow tools such as Cromwell, Nextflow and dsub. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) deprecated GLS as of July 8th, 2025. See full announcement here.
• Updates to the Researcher Workbench coming soon - Beginning in fall 2025, researchers will have the opportunity to use an updated Researcher Workbench powered by Verily Workbench. When the update is available, we will share information directly with All of Us Researcher Workbench users. See full announcement here. 

Support Resources

• Updated the How to use dsub in the Researcher Workbench to accommodate the change from GLS to Google Batch.
• We added additional example notebooks in the Data Wrangling in All of Us Program (v8) to demonstrate how to capture all conditions in a pre-create cohort, and how to create a new cohort based on person_ids from an existing data frame.
• A new Lunch & Learn webinar, Advancing Biomedical Research Using Multi-omics, highlighting how researchers can leverage electronic health record (EHR), survey, and wearable data and explore novel research approaches is now available for viewing on our YouTube channel.
