IRB Handbook

Renumeration

Payment or gifts for participation 
  • Guidelines permit remuneration to participants as long as the remuneration does not unduly influence participants to enroll or continue participation
  • The consent process and form must clearly outline remuneration plans
  • Receipt of remuneration may not be contingent on completion of the research
  • The IRB must review and approve remuneration plans, and determine that they do not represent an undue influence to enroll or continue participation
