Researchers often reach out to find people who are willing to provide their opinions or time as participants in surveys and studies. Their work is vital – they’re looking for ways to prevent dementia and trying to find treatments to improve quality of life for people living with the disease. Finding a cure and eradicating the disease is the ultimate goal.
Below are current research studies looking for participants. Those interested in participating can click here for a list of questions to ask when you are considering participation in a clinical study.

Building a Plan with Older Manitobans
The Province of Manitoba wants to hear from you! They’re looking for perspectives and ideas in their engagement survey to create a plan that will support older Manitobans to live as independently as they wish for as long as it is safe to do so. Let them know how to best support older Manitobans today by taking this survey: https://engagemb.ca/building-a-plan-for-older-manitobans

Perspectives of Live-in Caregivers on Home Care Services
Are you a live-in caregiver for a family member or friend who receives services from Home Care? Would you like to share your experiences?
A researcher from the University of Manitoba is recruiting participants for a study that will investigate the unique perspectives of live-in caregivers regarding how home care services may affect their lives and the home in which they live. The information gained may inform policy work that benefits caregivers in Manitoba, and thus may help other families in the future.
Participation in this research is fully confidential and involves individual interviews and a brief tour of the person’s home.
Those interested in participating are encouraged to contact the lead investigator:
