StepUp for Ageing Research involves three steps: registering, matching, and then deciding on participation.
After completing registration, you will receive general StepUp for Ageing Research information, including an information booklet with details on how to update your information (including removing yourself from StepUp for Ageing Research) and what will happen next.
- If you don’t have an email address, you will also receive a StepUp for Ageing Research welcome letter with your new joiner information booklet through the post within 10 business days.
- If you provided an email address, you will receive an email asking you to verify your account; this email will include an electronic version of the new joiner information booklet.
Once you have completed an online registration, you can access information and screening forms for any studies you match to. People without online registrations cannot see this but will be contacted by researchers with study information and screening forms.
The next step, independent of registration method, will be when you hear from researchers hoping you might be interested and suitable for their studies. Once you hear from the researchers, you then decide whether you want to take part or not in their study.
