Centre on Aging research database

Are you interested in participating in aging-related research studies?

Researchers are often looking for participants for their research studies. The Centre on Aging, University of Manitoba has created an electronic database of individuals 55 years and over who are willing to be contacted by researchers about whether they would like to participate in aging-related studies.

We would like to invite you to become part of this database. The database would contain your name, mailing address, phone number, age and gender, and it is maintained by Centre on Aging staff.
By becoming part of the database, you are only consenting to being contacted by researchers; whether you actually participate in a study is entirely your choice. Research projects and requests for participants vary. We cannot predict when researchers may need participants; you may or may not be contacted by a researcher. You can opt to have your information removed from the database at any time.

Your contact information will only be shared with Centre on Aging researchers whose projects have been approved by a research ethics board at the University of Manitoba.

To become part of the database

• Call (204-474-8754) or email (coaman@umanitoba.ca) the Centre on Aging to find out more about becoming a research study participant.
• Fill out the online form.

Contact information form

If you are interested in participating in aging-related research studies, complete the online form. You will receive a letter in the mail confirming your interest in the database and asking for signed informed consent. 

All personal information will be kept confidential.
