StepUp for Dementia Research was initially funded by the Commonwealth Government Department of Health and run by the University of Sydney. Professor Yun-Hee Jeon, Susan and Isaac Wakil Professor of Healthy Ageing, leads the program. The website and technology behind the service have been created by Professor Jeon and her team, in collaboration with the University of Exeter and using expertise from University College London, UK.
The service is completely free for all volunteers and researchers and used only to recruit people to ethically approved research studies. It is used by (1) approved researchers working in universities and in healthcare across Australia to list their study and (2) by volunteers like you to express interest in potential involvement.
