There are ongoing opportunities for seniors to support research into ageing and its associated conditions.

Universities are always needing seniors to trial various theories, and volunteering for such, in areas in which you have an interest, is of great importance to future treatments.

Greypath supports many requests for such help and rather than post them on forums we  now list such request here. They are also linked via a homepage banner ad that comes up periodically.

Sibling Relationships & Grief Research Project


As part of my Doctorate in Psychology through James Cook University I am researching family and sibling relationships and the experience (either real or hypothesised) of sibling grief. This study involves looking at peoples’ personalities, their family relationships and structure and their feelings following either the real or imagined death or loss of a brother or sister. In this study the term sibling refers to someone, either related or unrelated, with whom you have lived in a family type relationship (eg. Twin, step sibling, close cousin, foster sibling etc).

Criteria for participation -
a)    Aged 55 years or older
b)    Either:
a.    Have a sibling or
b.    Have experienced the death of a sibling (more than 6 months ago).
c)    Be willing to complete a questionnaire package (via mail)

If you are interested in participating or have any questions please contact:
