Help further knowledge

Would you like to enjoy yourself, make a little money, and advance scientific knowledge?  Are you 65 or older?  There are opportunities right here in St. Louis for you!

Washington University Aging and Development is conducting research on aging and draws on an Older Adult Participant Pool.  When a study needs participants, they check their database and send out invitations.  Areas they study include cognitive testing, sleep studies, and memory training.  Contact 314-935-6524 or jenniferguyton@wustl.edu to be added to the database or for more information.  Visit www.psychnet.wustl.edu/coglab/ for more information.


KnightADRC (Alzheimer's Disease Research Center) at Washington University is looking for people 65 and older, both with mild dementia, and those with no memory or thinking problems, to join their Memory and Aging Project (MAP).  Their goal is to learn how aging may affect memory and thinking abilities and to better understand brain disorders that cause memory loss.  Brain scans, memory testing, and helping researchers find ways to diagnose and treat dementia are benefits of participating.  Call 314-286-2683 or visit alzheimer.wustl.edu for more information.
