Abstract
TeamUp for Dementia Research is The Alzheimer Society of Ireland’s pioneering service that connects people affected by dementia with safe, supported opportunities to take part in ethically approved research. Since its launch in 2021, TeamUp for Dementia Research (TUDR) has made a significant contribution to strengthening dementia research in Ireland. It has created a trusted bridge between researchers and the dementia community, ensuring that people living with dementia and their families can participate meaningfully in studies that will shape future care, treatment, and understanding. This evaluation strongly affirms the value and impact of the service. It also highlights where continued focus is needed to ensure TUDR remains effective and responsive as research demand increases. A personalised and supported approach is central to the success of TUDR, and maintaining this standard will require ongoing attention to resourcing so we can capitalise on opportunities for more inclusive, diverse, and impactful research.
